Sumptuous and yet also structured

which features a very strong note of cloves and smoke

The palate is very well balanced with supple but firm tannins framing the pure blackberry and bilberry fruit

The 2010 de Fargues has an attractive bouquet with scents of honey

Burlotto, Barolo Cannubi other_regions Sumptuous and yet also structuredThis historic estate based in Verduno is renowned for its Monvigliero bottling, but in 2015 its Cannubi from the village of Barolo seems even finer. The nose is sweet, floral and lifted, with no trace of overripeness. Initially sleek, the palate grows in austerity, which is often a characteristic of this wine. But this grip and structure are welcome and don't dominate the spiciness and persistence of the fruit. Very long.
