Damilano Barolo Cannubi

Damilano Barolo Cannubi

Wine Description

Damilano is one of the oldest wineries in Barolo. The family business dates back to 1890 when Giuseppe Borgogno started cultivating and producing wine from the grapes from his own vineyards. Giuseppe  improved the general quality of the vinification system and of the wines, turning the winery into a “jewel” of the Langhe area. In 1997 Giuseppe passed the winery on to his grandchildren Paolo, Mario and Guido. Together, they are working to keep and improve the level of the quality of the Damilano wines.

Acclaim
“Aromas of camphor, underbrush, crushed herb and iris come together in the glass. The brawny, concentrated palate shows the heat of the vintage, offering cherry marinated in spirits, prune, licorice and baking spice framed in assertive, close-grained tannins that grip the finish. You’ll also notice the heat of evident alcohol on the close.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2021
“Sweet berries, tar and hazelnuts on the nose with some iodine and dry earth. Full-bodied with a solid center palate of juicy fruit and powerful, fine tannins. It’s racy and very long. Needs time to soften."
— James Suckling, Jul 2021
