Seductive and firmly built, Paolo Scavino’s 2016 Barolo Cannubi layers pure red cherry and wild strawberry fruit with rose petals, mint and sweet spices, all wrapped in a very refined, tightly woven tannic frame. The palate is vertical and detailed rather than opulent, with great precision, mineral lift and a long, echoing finish that shows why this acclaimed, final-era Cannubi is so prized. Cellar-worthy yet already beautifully composed, it promises increasing complexity for those patient enough to wait.

Paolo Scavino’s Barolo Cannubi is a single‑cru expression of 100% Nebbiolo from a tiny, historic Cannubi parcel (vines planted 1946) on the south–southeast crest of Cannubi at about 290 m, rooted in limestone‑rich marne soils. Vinified in Scavino’s modern style since 1985, it delivers concentrated, finely textured fruit with floral, spiced and mineral layers and a poised, long tannic structure suited to medium‑long aging.
