2017 Marchesi Di Barolo Barolo CANNUBI (Cru Storici)

Cannubi is a long, gently sloping hill that rises in the center of the Barolo area. Here soils from different periods come together forming blue-gray loams rich in magnesium and manganese carbonate that turn light gray on the surface when they come into contact with the air and the elements of the climate. The result is a combination of different clays and fine saturated sands with a strong limestone component of magnesium and manganese carbonate. Technically called Sant'Agata marl fossils, but in slang known as Toû. Surrounded by higher hills, Cannubi Hill is therefore protected from disturbances and strong winds and benefits from a unique microclimate.
