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
“Captivating aromas of roses, cherries, strawberries and fresh oranges. Medium to full body with extremely fine tannins that run the length of the wine. Succulent and extremely long and persistent. Such class.” — James Suckling, Jul 2023
“Liquored raspberries waft from the glass, accompanied by drying rose petals, medicinal herbs and cinchona bark. The wine is well balanced, with sour red fruits and earthy elements working in tandem, leading to a finish with dusty, earthy notes and mouth-watering acidity.” – (Cellar Selection) — Wine Enthusiast, Mar 2024
