About this wine
CANNUBI! The most famous historic Barolo Crus! Revered for its delicate power, and extraordinary grace…and usually, USUALLY…the highest Barolo prices to go along with it. Not here, and not TODAY! DOUBLE 94 POINTS, way OVER 50% OFF — and by far and away the BEST PRICE in the WORLD!!! Oh, baby — it has been a hot minute – but Cascina Adelaide is BACK!!! We love, love, love these guys — and y’all longtime Last Bottlers KNOW they always deliver the goods. When teamed up with our best ANYWHERE pricing…this is simply too good to miss — especially if you love Barolo (and CANNUBI, at that!) UNDER $60?! Let’s do this! 94 POINTS and just hauntingly elegant — this is the ghost of Audrey Hepburn incarnate — awash with floral and perfumed pops of lilacs, and crimson roses, and orange blossom, with an earthy grounding of tobacco leaf and sage. It’s lean, light, but deceptively JAMMED with the sort of intensity only truly great Barolo can match. We’re talking Helen of Troy gorgeous, with this wild mineral and dusty white pepper finish that extends this all like a Return of The King Director’s Cut viewing. A core of vibrant, utterly packed red fruits — from pomegranates, to cherries, to strawberries and cranberries and plums, all softened with some sweet balsam wood softness…MAN!!! Just a surreal treat of top-notch Barolo! Their state-of-the-art gravity-fed winery, tucked just beneath the hilltop Castello di Barolo in some of the most stunningly gorgeous vineyard land in all the world has really raised these wines to the next level — and the major wine press has taken notice. DOUBLE 94 POINTS, plus a couple 93s, and TONS of fanboy (and fangirl) praise from hardcore Barolo purists…I mean, C’MON! Bad news bears time, folks…we don’t have ENOUGH! Only 3,500 bottles EVER made — and even though we got the lion’s share of that limber gazelle — this is a Cru Barolo favorite here at Last Bottle that absolutely WILL NOT last the day! Over $65 OFF and at least $30 LESS than the next best price in the universe — so whatever are you waiting for, good people?!?! Just JUMP all over this...but…BUT!!! Keep your eyes peeled and your fingers primed for what comes next…a perfect pairing might be yours for the taking — if you’re fast enough! **Heads up, Last Bottlers! Y’all have been ordering a CRAZY amount of wine lately (and we LOVE ya for that!) Our warehouse has been working double speed and for orders placed today we expect wines to ship in around 1 week, so if you’re going ground…week two is when y’all should expect delivery. Of course, if you need that wine PRONTO — make use of any of our expedited shipping options at checkout and your order leaps to the front of the queue! Sorry for the delay…but I’ll let you in on a secret…ground-breaking changes are coming your way, soon!**
