Barolo producers split as court reverses Cannubi ruling

Rome’s high administrative court, the Consiglio di Stato, has ruled to once again relax regulations to allow producers on 34 hectares (ha) of vineyards to call their wines simply Barolo Cannubi.

Its decision comes just over one year after 11 producers succeeded in restricting use of the term to 15ha of Barolo DOCG vineyards. Under that ruling, those on a further 19ha of vineyards had to add their specific location to labels, such as Cannubi Boschis, Cannubi San Lorenzo, Cannubi Muscatel or Cannubi Valletta.

That’s a completely different issue having nothing to do with trademarks.

My bad I gave it a fast glance …

Salute !!!

Hmm. An interesting possible explanation. Does Barolo imported to Australia carry the trademark symbol?

Not to my knowledge. I suspect we receive the same bottles you do from a packaging perspective, the only difference is the importer label that’s affixed to the back of the bottle after it lands here.
