Cannubi: The Heart of Barolo

The article traced Cannubi’s documented identity to 1752 and described its central, wedge-shaped ridge, favourable exposure and protection from cold winds. Cannubi forms a transition between compact Helvetian/Lequio Formation soils and the softer Tortonian Marne di Sant’Agata Fossili. Sand, marl and limestone combine structural and aromatic attributes. Tenuta Carretta farms 2.6 ha here for Barolo Cannubi and Barolo Cannubi Riserva Collezione Franco Miroglio, seeking to express the variety, vineyard and individual vintage.
