Poderi Luigi Einaudi
This producer, located in Dogliani, has a reputation for producing high-quality Dolcetto di Dogliani. They also, however, produce good examples of Barolo. The former wines include an unoaked, fruity version Dolcetto di Dogliani Vigna Tecc and a barrique influenced Dolcetto di Dogliani I Fratelli. Recent vineyard purchases mean that the range of Barolo on offer has expanded. The feather in the cap is the Barolo nei Cannubi, made from a plot in the Cannubi vineyard which was purchased from Fratelli Gancia. (16/9/03)

Luigi Einaudi - Tasting Notes
The following wine was tasted in September 2003.
Luigi Einaudi Barolo nei Cannubi 1996: A colour which suggests some maturity although this is quite normal for Nebbiolo. The palate is still gripped by fairly fierce acidity and some decent tannins, but there is plenty of body to see these out. A haunting nose, offering up aromas of tar, leather, rose-petals and sweet-smoked fruits. Good sweet, perfumed fruit and a lovely length. Will be lovely in five years. Very good, potential for improvement.
