about this wine:
For many Barolo lovers, Cannubi is the most exceptional cru. A grand cru needs more attention in the vineyard so that the wine can express all of its elegance. In order to maximize
the conditions of the vintage, Enrico Scavino must be a haute couture tailor in the vineyards. The soil in the Cannubi region is typical tufo which is composed of gray silt-sand, marl, sometimes bluish or whitish-gray on the surface. The Cannubi vineyards were first planted in 1946. The grapes are hand harvested normally during the first 10 days of October.
Maceration and the fermentation occur in steel rotary Malolactic fermentation follows in oak barrels. Aging in French oak barriques for 12 months and further 12 months in large French oak casks and finally 12 months in bottle.

Scavino's 1990s are immense, statuesque wines of exceptional richness and complexity. The 1990 Barolo Cannubi is a stunningly elegant wine with greater depth and richness than the regular cuvee. It offers a fascinating display of grace allied to considerable power and richness. The fruit's sweetness (from low yields and ripe grapes) is marvelous to behold. This flashy, complex wine is approachable now, yet capable of lasting for 10-15 years. Importer: a Marc di Grazia Selection, Michael Skurnick Wines, Westbury, NY.
