SANDRONE BAROLO CANNUBI '08

From the heart of Barolo. From the heart of the village of Barolo the sinuous Cannubi hill stretches northwards, with vineyards on the east and west sides. From this southeastfacing part of the hill, historically called Cannubi Boschis, this Barolo is born, which brilliantly displays Nebbiolo’s regal character. The site possesses a marl and moderately compact soil with a microclimate that every year surprises for the transparency of its expression. Fruit of Experience. In the hierarchy of Barolo, Cannubi Boschis is precious. We have cultivated it and proudly made its wines since 1985; with the certainty of its unique and extraordinary productive potential.

Tasting Notes:

The Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis 2008 speaks clearly of its terroir of origin, culminating in a wine both harmonious and exuberant, pleasing and full of personality. In the glass, the intense garnet color is accentuated by delicate orange reflections. On the nose, the aromas give definitive and complex notes: first of all floral aspects such as dried roses and aromatic herbs, then fruity ones such as strawberry jam, dried fruits and ­finally almonds. These are followed by ethereal sweet spices: vanilla, licorice and nutmeg. In the mouth, the wine is warm and enveloping, with ­excellent harmony and still a subtle contrast between alcohol and ­acidity. In the end, the aftertaste shows harmonious, evolved hints of vanilla and licorice. Though it is still young, it has great structure and potential for long cellaring.
