A 3 hour decant with a large surface area and then decanting back into the bottle is the best way I have found to drink this wine. Still needs about 5 years of cellaring though. #cannubi #barolo — 10 years ago

Hands down, favorite wine I've ever had. I prefer sweeter wines for sure, and this one is perfect for any occasion — 11 years ago

I've probably had more of this wine than any other all year and its unfortunately been inconsistent. Some have tasted corked, others I would put against the best Barberas out there. Then again, there's a reason I will come back to this bottle, because when it's good, it phenomenal for an under $20 Barbera d'Asti. This particular bottle was middle of the road good, not amazing compared to what else we've opened tonight. Definitely sweeter than what I remember, but not in a bad way. — 11 years ago

Had high expectations for this wine and it did not disappoint. Refined and very smooth. I wonder if a few years will improve this wine. — 10 years ago

Classic bright red fruit. Minerality and texture was still too tied up in ginormous tannins but I imagine this will settle down nicely. I'd love to be able to come back to this in a few years...or decades. — 11 years ago

I had the 2012. A delicious Dolcetto. Rich fruit and perfect balance. Probably the most wonderful Dolcetto I have had. It is age-worthy and should be able to go at least eight years in the cellar. If you think of Dolcetto as a light-weight wine you need to experience this. — 11 years ago

Lovely nose, floral, whit flowers, jasmine, honeysuckle, on the palate there is stone fruit, fresh cut white peach, juicy pear, some minerality, wet stone. Nice balance, medium body, medium acidity, I wish the acidity was a touch higher. Perfect wine to drink while roasting a chicken. — 11 years ago

I really love this Barbera. Might have a blind spot, but totally skews QPR! Atypical, but great. — 12 years ago

Very lovely. I suggest opening up and letting it sit for at least a day. Then the fruits and flowers and earthy goodness really shine! The oxygen also turns those pesky tight tannins so smooth and delicious. — 10 years ago

Complex, rich. Lots of dark fruits and leather and chocolate. But not fantastic. Some flaw I can't put my finger on. Good nonetheless. — 10 years ago

I was surprised with the balance and structure. Acidity in a dolcetto? I dig it. — 10 years ago

Named for the three sisters in the winemakers family, this is one of the best wines on the planet. Paso Robles region. I truly believe Paso wines are incredible! — 11 years ago

I liked it. Tom did not. Thought it taste nothing like a Barolo. Dried Rosemary wood. — 11 years ago

Whoah, what a surprise. It was like a punch in the mouth that I enjoyed and kept going back for more. Much stronger and heavier than it looks. This gem holds its own with notes of tobacco and leather with an earthy finish. — 11 years ago
