Other vintages
"Intensely perfumed with notes of dried roses, dried strawberries, sour cherries, tar and white truffles. Lemons, too. Medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and firm, tightly knit tannins. Fragrant, refined and structured." James Suckling 94 points Drink 2024-38

Aromas of red-skinned berry, camphor and forest floor emerge from the glass. The savory, balanced palate offers ripe raspberry, star anise and cinnamon alongside fine-grained tannins. Drink 2023-2033.
Wine Spectator

This red's texture borders on creamy, with lively acidity setting the stage for cherry, currant and hibiscus flavors. The finish is framed by crisp tannins and lingers nicely. Best from 2026 through 2042. 1,600 cases made, 150 cases imported.
Wine Advocate

The Marchesi di Barolo 2018 Barolo Cannubi is a steady performer, as recent past vintages have shown us. The wine reveals a light and tapered style with plenty of delicate fruit, spice, licorice and crushed rose. It feels thin on the mid-palate but closes with a bright pinch of acidity and silky tannins. The soils of Cannubi are complex, with three types of marl soils of various densities that converge in this spot. To be released in 2013, some 20,000 bottles were made.
Vinous

The 2018 Barolo Cannubi shows good depth, but it also comes across as dried out next to the other wines in the range. Dried cherry, worn-in leather, cinnamon and dried herbs are signs of a wine that is on a fast aging curve.
