justerini & brooks tasting note

The magic of Cannubi is its ability to deliver impeccably sweet, lush fruit with power. The velvet glove 2020 is a wine of substance and complex, sparkling fruits with good inherent freshness and structure – delicate yet fully glorious. From the historic central part of Cannubi, steep and well-draining the wine was aged for 24 months in 15% new barrique after fermentation in stainless steel.

critic reviews

96/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The 2020 Barolo Cannubi is all class. Floral, soaring aromatics meld into a core of dark, red-toned fruit. Medium in body and nuanced, with plenty of youthful tannin, the 2020 sizzles with energy and all the classicism that is such a signature of this site, all amplified by an approach at Altare today that marries textural richness with vibrancy. Today, the Cannubi is the most reticent of the 2020 Altare Barolos—probably a good sign for its future.
