Aroma: rose, vanilla, spice, toasted oak

Palate: full, austere, soft tannin

From the legendary Cannubi hill, a ruby-garnet Barolo with intense rose, vanilla, spice and toasted oak over a full, elegant and austere palate with soft, enveloping tannins.

What it pairs with

  • Egg pasta with ragu
    Traditional tajarin matches the wine's structure.
  • Brasato al Barolo
    Braised beef meets the cru's austere depth.
  • Aged cheese
    Hard cheese frames the rose and spice.

History

Cannubi is the most famous hill in Barolo, and Marchesi di Barolo, rooted in the cellars where the modern style was shaped, makes a benchmark Barolo from it.
