The Barolo DOCG Grinzane Cavour 2016 by Canonica Giovanni is a celebration of elegance and complexity, encapsulating the essence of the Langhe hills. Made from Nebbiolo grapes sourced from vineyards in the historic subzone of Grinzane Cavour, this wine opens with an enchanting bouquet of rose petals and berries, intricately woven with delicate spiced notes of black pepper and licorice. On the palate, the tannic structure is powerful yet silky, while the well-balanced acidity imparts freshness and longevity to each sip.
The 2016 vintage is considered extraordinary, with a climate that favored optimal maturation of the grapes. Extended maceration has extracted deep aromas and flavors, making this Barolo versatile for aging. Notes of marasca cherry and dark chocolate emerge on the palate, followed by earthy and mineral undertones that reflect the unique terroir of the region.
Perfectly paired with rich dishes like Barolo braised meat or aged cheeses, this wine is an ideal companion for a special dinner or a moment of reflection. Each sip tells the story of the vineyards and the craftsmanship of Canonica Giovanni, inviting the taster on a sensory journey that celebrates the winemaking tradition of Piedmont. A Barolo that does not disappoint and continues to evolve, promising to deliver intense emotions for many years to come.
