Burlotto, Barolo Cannubi Vintage:2018 lively and incisiveThis 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.
