2021 Brezza Barolo Cannubi (750ml)

The Brezza family has farmed in the village of Barolo since 1885 and is now in its fourth generation. They're one of the appellation's most respected traditionalists, and their vineyards are certified organic. Cannubi is Barolo's most storied cru, and Brezza's southeast-facing plots sit in the historic heart of the hill. 2021 is a classic, celebrated vintage, and this is a benchmark Cannubi: fragrant red fruit, dried cherry and crushed flowers, with savory notes of earth, tobacco and warm spice. The palate is finely textured with vibrant acidity and firm, polished tannins that set it up for a long life in the cellar. It's built for the ages, but decant it now and serve with braised veal, wild mushroom risotto or tajarin with butter and truffle.

"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."
