($100, Kobrand Wine & Spirits):  OMG, as good as Chiarlo’s 2013 Cerequio is, their Cannubi is just better.  It stops you in your tracks.  Chiarlo owns about 3 acres of Cannubi, which is Barolo’s most famous vineyard.  They are so selective and quality-oriented that they usually wind up using only half of their Cannubi crop for this wine.  This Cannubi has everything that Chiarlo’s Cerequio has, and then some. The tannins are finer, which highlights a silkier — when have you heard that work describing Barolo — texture.  Better make room for another Barolo in your cellar.
