The name Cannubi refers to the quality of the grapes and wines from the hills of the same name, included among the MGA (Menzioni Geografiche Aggiuntive) crus of the Municipality of Barolo.
 
The vineyards owned by L”Astemia, are located on the first slope stucked between the two roads which rise up to the town.
 
This is the lower part of the Cannubi, where the nature of the soils and the South and South-East exposition produce wines with astrong body, elegance and pleasingly tense tannins.
 
A dry, elegant and silky Barolo, which gracefully invades the palateand lingers there for some time, unfolding complex olfactory sensations.
 
A strong and decisive structure, with soft tannins. A wine that openson the nose with pleasing fresh notes of red fruit, followed by hintsof ripe fruit, dried flowers, with pleasant spicy and woody notes that blend perfectly.
 
Drinkability and longevity are intrinsic characteristics of this wine,which lives up to high expectations even after just a few years of evolution.
