Wines and Beyond

Red Wine by Einaudi from Piedmont, Italy. From superstar cru of Cannubi - Barolo's greatest, most expensive and historical, documented as far back as 1752! The Einaudi family succeeded in purchasing a little over 5.4 acres of this celebrated terroir in 1997. The ensuing Barolo's superb concentration is enhanced and fine-tuned by elevage: 18-20 months in French barriques, 10-12 months in barrel. The result is grandeur and complexity, luscious aromas, layers and layers of velvet, spice, goudron, truffles; long, long finish and a long, long cellar life of over 25 years. Amazing aromas of ripe fruit, like raspberries in a leather basket. Full-bodied, with ultrasoft and silky tannins and a very, very long finish. Still there after a minute in your mouth. Extremely well-crafted. One of the best Barolos ever from here. Best after 2008. 955 cases made. Wine Spectator, July 2004
