"The talented Chiara Boschis has produced a gem from this cru in 2020. Fermented in stainless steel with multiple punchdowns per day (but no submerged cap), it's then racked off early and aged for 24 months in 30% new French oak barrels. Pure mint and liquorice scents with deep dried cherry, leather and blood orange notes. Very elegant with great persistence and a classic finish."

"Nervy and complex nose with excellent depth. Oranges, nutmeg, steel, mineral and a touch of white pepper and oyster shell. Broad and expansive on the palate with very structured, chalky tannins that extend to a lengthy, mineral finish. Long and youthful. From organically grown grapes. Can drink now, but better from 2027."

"Notes of crushed rocks leap from the 2020 Barolo Cannubi, which is vinified exactly the same way, but the terroir really shows its face in this wine. Offering exuberant aromas of ripe, fresh black raspberries and pure cherry candies, the palate is rich in its structure, with ripe tannins and broad shoulders, but it remains light on its feet, with loads of purity and a generous, elegant nature. Hold it another year and drink over the coming 15 or more years. It has loads to offer."

"The 2020 Barolo Cannubi is elegant, silky and nuanced. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, cinnamon and orange peel lend notable aromatic presence to this mid-weight, understated Barolo. All the elements are nicely balanced throughout. The 2020 is a pretty wine, but this a lighter style, even for Cannubi. The lighter body makes the tannins feel a touch austere. It will be interesting to see how this develops."

"The E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2020 Barolo Cannubi is a fine and delicate wine, although there is a little more grit and richness in this warm vintage. The quality of the fruit is exceptional, especially its crisp ripeness. Dark cherry, blackcurrant, rose blossom, pink pepper and white limestone add considerable high-toned notes. The freshness is great and the fruit stays juicy, fueling a long, elegant finish. Only 4,000 bottles were made."

"A well of pure cherry bubbles up in this red, complemented by rose, strawberry, mineral, wet pine and underbrush aromas and flavors. Though exuding finesse, this is layered with chalky tannins, yet still extends with a kaleidoscope of red fruit, mineral and savory notes on the long finish. Best from 2028 through 2046.
