James Suckling (97)- "Deep and restrained with sleek elegance. Aromatic sweet violets are infused with orange zest, red currants and strawberries, slightly waxy and savory. The dense, full-bodied palate is crisp and firm yet velvety, showing subtle, concentrated fruit. Fresh and long with a thick finish, a bit sanguine and salty. Drinkable upon spring release."
Wine Advocate (96)- "The certified organic E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2022 Barolo Cannubi shows the distinctive silkiness that defines this site, a quality linked to the MGA's well-draining soils that tend to produce especially fine-grained tannins and more aromatic, lifted expressions of Nebbiolo. The wine reveals careful aromas of violet, zesty mandarin, crushed stone and subtle iron ore, with those mineral tones carrying clearly to the palate and supporting an excellent mix of tension, depth and elegance. Sourced from organic Nebbiolo clones of Michet and Lampia planted in a tiny 0.7-hectare plot at 300 meters above sea level, the vineyard sits on powdery white limestone soils that have long contributed to Cannubi’s reputation for wines that combine finesse with quiet persistence."
Vinous (91)- "The 2022 Barolo Cannubi is a very pleasant, soft wine. Juicy red cherry/plum fruit, spice, blood orange and cedar are pushed forward. This mid-weight Barolo does not show most of the signs of a brutally warm and dry year—there is lovely freshness here. At the same time, the 2022 is a bit light, especially in the mid-palate, suggesting full phenolic ripeness was not reached. It's a wine that highlights the paradox of so many wines in this vintage because of its freshness but lighter structure vis-à-vis most years."
