Cascina Adelaide Barolo Cannubi 2016 (Magnum 1.5L) - First Bottle

Reviews

94 James Suckling - Read

This is a very fine-grained red with chewy tannins and medium to full body, offering dried cherries, strawberries, hazelnuts and hints of tobacco. Long and juicy. Give this two or three years. Better after 2022.

94 Wine Spectator - Read

A dense, linear profile sets the stage for macerated cherry and raspberry fruit, leather, iron, menthol and tobacco flavors. It expands on the long finish, flexing some muscle and tannins. Best from 2024 through 2050. 350 cases made, 150 cases imported.

93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - Read

The Cascina Adelaide 2016 Barolo Cannubi opens to wild rose, blue flower, candied orange skin and forest berry. The bouquet is generous with red fruits and flowers, but you also get some pretty tones of ash, smoke and powdered licorice. Some of the single-vineyard Baroli from this estate, such as this particular 4,500-bottle cru, show better and more careful tannic management than the two blended Baroli. In fact, the tannins on this Cannubi are reasonably mild and soft.

Exactly 36 magnums of Cannubi (94pts) just landed at truly astounding prices! ‘16 is the vintage of...well...maybe ever! Cascina Adelaide, one of our all-time favorite Barolo producers, makes complex, yet often approachable, world-class wines, and WE have the inside line.

In 1999, owner Amabile Droco purchased an old farmhouse in the heart of Barolo (the village), made a considerable investment in new production equipment, and added a new state of the art gravity-fed winery building to the property. They now own top sites in eight out of the 10 Barolo “Crus”, and continue to be an ever-higher-achieving star on the rise. The Cannubi hill is sacred ground, of course, in the heart of Barolo, and Cascina’s incredibly fine, lifted, perfumey and polished wine will last for decades, especially in magnum.

These magnums are over 50% OFF their regular retail price...crazy! Do anything to snag a few! Your future self and your future wine collection will thank you!!

About the Producer

After a highly successful engineering career, Amabile Droco achieved his lifetime’s ambition when he purchased an old farmhouse and the accompanying vineyards in the heart of the village of Barolo in 1999. The employment of a top new winemaking team and the construction of an incredible new subterranean winery had a predictably positive effect on the quality of the wines produced. What really sets Cascina Adelaide apart however, is their vineyard holdings and their commitment to demonstrating the diversity of the terroirs within the Barolo DOCG. Journalists have been quick to recognize the fantastic quality of the wines with a number of the wines awarded 95 points from Wine Spectator as well as consistently coming out on top in Decanter tastings. The Fossati Cru is located in the La Morra area, where the soil is rich of red and grey clay. This place is well-known as a great cru for great Barolo wines that can be aged for decades.
