The 2010 Barolo Riserva Cannubi 1752 is infused with savory tones of leather, spice and smoke. Those specific aromas add to the immense sense of sophistication and elegance that is exuded from the bouquet of this deeply layered Barolo. Opening to a dark garnet color with little light saturation, this beautiful Nebbiolo is expressive and articulate; it is an especially worthy spokesperson for this classic vintage. At its core, the wine delivers dark, luscious dark fruit that still has primary freshness at this young stage. Otherwise, this Riserva is also far enough along to show tertiary tones of balsam herb and licorice. Intense and balanced. Expresses a complex and diverse spectrum of aromas with rich, dark fruit notes, violet, cherry, plum, and tertiary notes of spice, to- bacco, leather, and truffles. Elegant yet simulatneously rich and soft, com- plex, and refined. Dry, robust, full-bodied, very persistent, and velvety. Excellent with Piedmontese pasta (tajarin, ravioli). Also great with red meat, braised and roasted meat, game, and ideal with all types of cheeses.
