Chiara Boschis has united 26 producers across the Cannubi hill to create a bio-district. As of 2015, 80% of the vineyards are farmed organically. Boschis' single parcel, not quite one hectare, is in Cannubi proper. Aged predominately in barrique, one-third new, it now includes a small portion of larger casks too. The 2013 is completely enchanting and immediately expressive, yet still offers great depth and ageing potential. With a gorgeous silky texture, this is pure finesse.

The 2013 Barolo Cannubi is a fine and sculpted wine that has benefitted from the cool vintage conditions and the long growing season. The wine shows a very pretty nose with wild berry aromas followed by pressed rose, ash, wild mint, tea and earthy black truffle. It shows fine tannins that are slightly camouflaged by the generosity of the fruit. The Cannubi cru offers extreme elegance and finesse. Despite those svelte contours, this wine is built to last. -Monica Larner

Warm and inviting, offering rich flavors of cherry, raspberry, rose and spice, with flashes of mineral and tobacco. Nonetheless, this is densely packed, showing refined tannins and a chalky, stony feel on the long finish. Best from 2021 through 2038. 700 cases made. –BS
