A wine of great class that expresses the elegance of the territory, of a brilliant garnet red turning slightly amber with time, exuberant in its fragrance of fruit and spices, of great body, full and velvety with a long final taste of goudron and spices.

Luigi Einaudi was the first democratically elected president of Italy. In the wake of fascism and the death of Mussolini, it's no surprise that the Italian public elected a man who was both a financial whiz (he had been the director of the Banca dโ€™Italia) but also someone with a fundamental connection to and respect for agrarian life, and an unshakable love for the unique culture of Italian wine and gastronomy.

Well before he was elected, though, Enaudi was a grape grower in the Langhe hills. He bought land in Dogliani in the late 1890s, which included a few rows of Dolcetto and Nebbiolo vines. Over the years, he acquired more and more prestigious sites, stopped selling fruit to the local co-op, and began making his own wine. Luigi's great-grandson, Paolo Sardagna, is at the helm today.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 96
"This is one of Poderi Luigi Einaudi's historic productions. This estate enjoys some of the best growing sites in the appellation despite the fact winemaking is performed outside the denomination on Dogliani. This estate is grandfathered into the system. The 2019 Barolo Cannubi is streamlined and silky in texture, but it shows enough inner tension and energy to support a busy bouquet with elements of wild berry, blue flower and dusty mineral. This wine shows that classic Cannubi weightlessness."

Wine Spectator

WS 94
"Broad and rich, exhibiting plum, cherry, earth and underbrush aromas and flavors. Reveals a dense matrix of tannins that lend support, with lively acidity. This finds nice equilibrium in the end, where a vestige of ripe Nebbiolo fruit lingers."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 97
"Red berry, rose petal and whiffs of exotic spice come to the forefront on this stunning red together with whiffs of camphor. Itโ€™s still youthfully austere, precise and firm, delivering wild strawberry, cranberry, ground clove and hints of coffee bean alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps balanced. Give this a few more years to fully develop."
