Cannubi, perhaps the most famous hill in Italy: the most acclaimed and prominent vineyard of the Barolo denomination. Historically the oldest Italian cru, recognized since 1752, everything in this area is perfect: the altitude, exposure, soils, location and microclimate yield Barolo wines at the top of the denomination.
Michele Chiarlo has owned the vineyard since 1989. Situated in the historic heart of Cannubi (where the “ciabot”, or the ancient Cannubi shed, can be found), it rises on a steep slope that has been terraced with grassy ridges under the guidance of the Swiss University of Changin. A delicate job that currently guarantees soil integrity and combats hydrogeological instability.
