Elio Altare - Barolo Cannubi 2015

Elio Altare - Barolo Cannubi 2015

94/100

Robert Parker

" The first vintage of this wine was 2011. The Altare family leased a quarter hectare of this famous vineyard, and the contract expires (or, hopefully, will be renewed) in 2024. The 2015 Barolo Cannubi is a magnificent wine with a real brilliance and luminosity that transcends the wine's appearance, bouquet, and palate. There is real beautiful volume, and the wine covers the entire palate evenly and smoothly. In ascending order of intensity among Altare's Barolos, this was the penultimate wine we tasted." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Monica Larner)
