Cannubi Barolo docg Francesco Rinaldi & Figli 2017

The Barolo “Cannubi” of the Rinaldi Francesco & Figli winery is produced with Nebbiolo grapes grown in the prestigious “cru” Cannubi in the district of Barolo. It is an austere wine, with a classic style that can be aged to enhance its characteristics. The name Cannubi was indicated on the label for the first time in 1752, before the birth of the official denomination. It has a ruby red color, with garnet reflexes that tend to orange after a few years of aging. Its bouquet is floral and fruity, with scents of cherry and ripe strawberry, plums, noble spices and withed flowers. The taste is austere, well balanced, with a good freshness and persistence. It is excellent to drink as an accompaniment to meat dishes such as roasts and game, and seasoned cheeses.

Rinaldi Francesco, one of the most famous winery in the Barolo area, is an ancient and prestigious winery located on a hill inside the prestigious Cannubi cru. Francesco Rinaldi inherited this winery, founded in 1870, in 1922 and gave it its name. Today Paola and Piera managed the winery and succeeded in extending the trade also abroad, keeping alive the family traditions. The grape varieties cultivated are Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto.
