Tenuta Carretta Barolo Vigneti in Cannubi 1996
This 1996 Barolo from Tenuta Carretta’s famed Cannubi vineyard shows the depth and elegance of a truly mature Nebbiolo. The perfume opens with dried cherry, sweet tobacco leaf, leather and a whisper of delicate rose petal. On the palate it is firm yet fluid—fine, chalky tannins, bright acidity still alive, savory herb and truffle notes weaving through a long, resonant finish. A Barolo that clearly belongs in the cellar—but offers a beautiful window of drinking now for those willing.
