From the esteemed Grinzane Cavour vineyard, Giovanni Canonica’s 2017 Barolo offers a captivating expression of Nebbiolo, capturing the depth and finesse of one of Barolo’s most celebrated crus. Known for its elegance, this wine reveals layers of dark fruit, floral nuances, and earthy complexity.

The nose opens with aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums, accompanied by delicate floral notes of rose and violet, and a hint of spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with smooth tannins and a vibrant acidity that brings balance to the fruit. Subtle earthy undertones add complexity, while the finish is long and refined, leaving lingering notes of dark fruit and a touch of oak.

This Barolo pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game, or rich pasta dishes. While it is already showing well, the 2017 vintage has the structure to age and evolve, revealing even more depth and complexity as time passes.

More about Giovanni Canonica

Hidden legend in Barolo, living in a small agriturismo above the village, making wine in cellars below. Started with 1.5 hectares in Paiagallo (vines on the hill above town), later inherited older vines in Grinzane Cavour with a rare rose clone of Nebbiolo. No herbicides, no pesticides, only tradition. Production is insanely limited.
