The organic Brezza 2021 Barolo Cannubi is a delicate and finely textured Nebbiolo with earthy aromas, dried cherry and crushed flowers. That earthy note ties into a savory side of tobacco and warm spice. The open-knit fruit is balanced, and the wine concludes with silky tannins that are resolved even at this young stage in the wine's life. You can drink this Barolo straight out of the gate. That immediacy is becoming a more common feature with Cannubi fruit, especially in the warm vintages. Winemaking sees 10 months in stainless steel followed by 24 months in Slavonian oak casks. Production is 8,315 bottles. Drink Date: 2026 – 2040. Reviewed by: Monica Larner
