Poderi Luigi Einaudi Cannubi Barolo DOCG: A Piemontese Masterpiece

From the historic Cannubi Cru-the most celebrated vineyard in the Langhe-the Luigi Einaudi Cannubi Barolo is a wine of exceptional pedigree. It represents the pinnacle of Nebbiolo, produced by the estate founded by Italy’s first President, Luigi Einaudi. This is a Barolo that effortlessly marries the robust structure expected of the denomination with an unusual degree of finesse and aromatic elegance.

The Sommelier's Notes

The Cannubi terroir delivers a wine distinguished by its multi-layered complexity and age-worthiness. This is a powerful, yet beautifully refined, expression of Barolo.

• Appearance: A striking deep garnet red, evolving to brick-orange at the rim with bottle maturity.
• Aroma: A heady perfume of dried rose petals, forest floor, cedar, balsamic notes, and wild red berries. A distinct truffle scent is a hallmark of this Cru.
• Taste: Velvety and full-bodied on the palate, offering ripe fruit notes of cherry and red plum, balanced by savoury undertones of tobacco, leather, and liquorice. The tannins are firm but beautifully integrated, leading to a lingering, elegant finish that speaks of its world-class quality.

Food Pairing & Decanting

To fully appreciate its intricate structure, this Barolo should be decanted for a minimum of two hours and served at 18-20°C.

• Food Pairing: Traditionally matched with the rich cuisine of the Piedmont region, it is sublime with game dishes (venison, pheasant), slow-cooked beef (like a classic British Sunday Roast Beef), and robust, mature hard cheeses.
