Description

“1752” is the name of the Damilano Barolo Cannubi Riserva, in honor of the year in which the historic bottle was first marked “Cannubi”. It still exists today perfectly conserved by the Manzone family in Bra, close to Barolo. The bottle is clearly marked as being of “1752” vintage, indicating that Cannubi historically precedes Barolo.

Food Pairing

This wine is excellent with typical piedmontes pasta (tajarin, ravioli); perfect with red meat, braised and roast meat, game and absolutely ideal with all types of cheeses.

Professional Reviews

98 points James Suckling

This is so floral. It’s like smelling a huge bunch of roses. Then there’s fresh, ripe fruit with raspberry, strawberry, licorice and black truffle undertones. Full-bodied and very structured, with superb tannins that are broad and integrated already. Shows the ripeness of the vintage, but at the same time freshness. Big yet balanced. Excellent tannins give this tension and focus. More open than the superb 2015 and 2016. 30% whole bunch fermentation with natural yeast. Five years in a single Stockinger cask of 50 hectoliters. Two years in bottle before release. Try after 2028, but already so gorgeous.

93 points Decanter

Sunny cherry and Autumn plum nose; palate of plum, concentrated sweet fruit and taught tannins on the palate.

93 points Wine Spectator

Alluring aromas of cherry and rose give way to flavors of rosemary, oregano and tar in this dense yet elegant red. Bright yet chewy, with beefy tannins girding the finish. Fine length.
