Product Overview
95 Points, #37 on "Top 100 Cellar Selections of 2022" - Wine Enthusiast
"Wild herb, iris, red berry and oak-driven spice aromas come to the forefront. Full-bodied but with so much finesse it seems almost weightless, the taut, tense palate features ripe Morello cherry, raspberry compote, coconut and licorice before closing on a hint of espresso. Tightly knit, close-grained tannins provide firm support while bright acidity keeps it vibrant. Drink 2028–2038." -KO, 9/1/22

"Packaged with a black label, the Paolo Scavino 2018 Barolo Cannubi (with 3,000 bottles released) opens to a delicate and luminous appearance with lifted aromas wild rose, lilac, wild berry and crushed stone. The wine shows great depth and complexity compared to some of the more subdued wines found in this vintage. This is one for the cellar." -ML, 6/23/22

"This Barolo is marked by a combination of cherry, menthol, leather and spice flavors. Verges on rich, yet is solidly built, displaying tar and tobacco accents on the firm, dry finish. Balanced and long. Best from 2026 through 2043." -BS, 4/30/23

"The 2018 Barolo Cannubi is attractive and also rather understated in this vintage. Crushed flowers, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, mint and dark cherry are nicely lifted. The Cannubi is quite pretty, but also a touch on the ethereal side, as many Barolos are in 2018." -AG, Jun/2022
