This classic, concentrated and meaty wine offers lean red fruits, beef jus and fine-grained tannins. Vibrant acidity deftly lifts the flavors and livens the texture for an elegance that will also stand the test of time. Best from 2028.

This is my favorite bottle among this collection of new releases from the Damilano family. The 2020 Barolo Cannubi represents a much bigger production than you might expect, with 35,000 bottles created. Aged in large oak cask, it offers good focus in terms of its aromatic intensity and complete aromas of dark fruit, rusty nail, crushed stone and grilled herb. Perhaps its robust power and concentration takes away from the lightness and finesse of Nebbiolo, but it gives the wine a heavier overall footprint that will pair well with grilled meats.

There's refinement to this red, along with a solid structure. This sets the stage for sour cherry, orange peel, tamarind, iron, earth and eucalyptus flavors. The tannins dominate on the finish, with a lightly astringent feel, yet this is long. Best from 2027 through 2043. 2,900 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.
