With a rating of 91 points from James Suckling, the L’Astemia Barolo Cannubi DOCG 2014 is a testament to the potential of the revered Cannubi terroir. This Italian gem has a vibrant, ruby red hue, and on the nose, it unfolds a complex array of aromas; think ripe cherries, a hint of truffle, and a whisper of rose petals. On the palate, it dances with a delicate balance of intense red fruit flavors, earthy undertones, and well-integrated tannins, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This wine is a perfect companion to a hearty osso buco or a robust cheese platter. Given the depth and complexity it brings to the table, it’s a truly great value find.
