Luigi Einaudi was still an Italian, and even though the job as Italy's first President must have been quite demanding, legend had it that he was always on hand for vintage time - a story confirmed by the oldies even now. This was clearly his passion and it is reflected through to today. For every bottle produced there is a deliberate thought for each wine’s existence and an application of care and resources to its growing and making. 

Born in the Cannubi vineyard of the Einaudi estate in the Cannubi area of Barolo at 220 m., positioned South South-East. The land is composed of grey white Sant'Agata marne, rich in sand. A wine of great class that expresses the elegance of the territory, of a brilliant garnet red turning slightly amber with time, exuberant in its fragrance of fruit and spices, of great body, full and velvety with a long final taste of goudron and spices. The tannic characteristics guarantee a very long life in bottle in the best vintages.

Cherry, red berries, rose and mint. Medium-bodied, succulent and charming, tannin is gentle but with an ironstone quality (if that makes sense), some orange peel in with bright red fruit, and again ferrous and precise on a finish of excellent length. Light, frisky, but such good bone structure. Excellent. A bit of a Burgundy feel to it, if you don’t mind.

Medium full red with tawny and brick-red tints; the bouquet is quite complex in its savoury dried-herb and polished timber way. The wine is medium-full bodied and has a touch of richness with abundant supple, drying, powdery tannins in good harmony with the rest of the wine's components. Good drive and persistence of palate. A wine of serious concentration. It finishes right out and has a satisfying farewell, a finish that lingers long and reverberates for quite a while.Date Tasted: Sept 2022; Drink: Rating: 96 Points; Huon Hooke; The Real Review
