Damilano Langhe Chardonnay

Damilano Langhe Chardonnay

Wine Description

It is a wine born out of challenge and passion, with the belief that the Langhe always give voice to great interpretations, even in white: 100% Chardonnay, a white capable of living up to the great red wines of Langa.

For the Damilano family, focused on Nebbiolo for generations, putting themselves to the test on a white vine that has already had superb Piedmontese interpretations was an important, strongly desired comparison. The name chosen for the new white, GD, is a dedication to Giacomo Damilano, founder of the winery, who had already sensed the vocation and potential of the family vineyards in the 1920s.

Acclaim
“This shows aromas of golden apples and glazed lemons with hints of beeswax, honeysuckle and praline. Full and creamy with depth and waxy texture. Spiced and lingering.” — James Suckling, Jul 2023
