Barolo Cannubi 2012

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

“Lustrous and just mid ruby with orange tinges. Lovely sweet cherry with savoury top notes. Compact yet supple and the least open of all the 2012 Scavino Barolos. Great balance and lots of grainy tannins. Very pretty and complete.” - Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com, 17+/20 (May 2016)

“A bright, fruity style, with strawberry and cherry flavors framed by eucalyptus, briar and white pepper accents. Firm and vibrant, showing good equilibrium on the lingering finish.” - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Aug 2016)

“Sensual and inviting, the 2012 Barolo Cannubi is an attractive, mid-weight offering. Crushed flowers, sweet red berries and anise are some of the signatures. The wine's color and mid-weight structure both lead me to believe the 2012 Cannubi is best enjoyed sooner rather than later.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92/100 (Nov 2015)
