Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed September 2020Rose-petal, woodland-berry, clove and wild herb aromas are front and center on this fragrant red along with a whiff of camphor. From the heart of this legendary vineyard area, the focused, elegantly structured palate features pomegranate, crushed raspberry, star anise and a hint of cinnamon framed in tightly knit fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced and lends enough energy for long cellaring. Drink 2024–2046. *Editors' Choice* (KO)

Wine Advocate
Released in numbered bottles and only made in the best years, the Fratelli Serio & Battista Borgogno 2016 Barolo Riserva Cannubi (packaged with a bright red wax capsule) is the clear star of this portfolio. The wine shows deep complexity with a busy collection of fruit, licorice and dried flower aromas. You also get delicate hints of toasted spice and savory tobacco. The mouthfeel remains tapered, lean and polished throughout. (ML)

Vinous
The 2016 Barolo Cannubi from Serio & Battista Borgogno is a beguiling old-school Barolo. Orange peel, mint, rose petal, sweet red cherry, licorice and kirsch are some of the notes that are laced together. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the 2016 offers plenty of Cannubi sensuality. Bright acids and veins of tannin extend into the finish, adding a good bit of youthful austerity to the mix. This is such a pretty and intriguing wine. (AG)

Decanter
Yet another Borgogno estate, this being of 19th-century origin and now in the hands of the descendants of Francesco Borgogno, long-term mayor of Barolo. The focus here is on Cannubi, where the estate owns 3ha. The winemaking here is traditional, and the nose is ripe but reticent, with lean, elegant red-fruit aromas. Although succulent and sleek, it lacks some depth now, but it's spicy, lively and has ample acidity. Its tangy finish should promise a good future. (SB)
