Cavalier Bartolomeo 2006 Cannubi San Lorenzo (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Piedmont
Variety: Nebbiolo
Winery: Cavalier Bartolomeo / Cannubi San Lorenzo

Here’s a wine that begs a pairing with a truffle dish: black truffle Cornish hen or creamy risotto with white truffle flakes would do the trick. Cannubi San Lorenzo’s aromas include spice, cherry, cola, white licorice, white mushroom and smoked ham. This is a beautiful wine with a firm, determined but elegant finish.
