Damilano Barolo Brunate

Damilano Barolo Brunate

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
This red isn’t lean but is austere in flavor, evoking cherry, black currant and eucalyptus flavors that are quickly swallowed up by burly tannins. Still, this is fleshy and persistent. — Wine Spectator, Dec 2024
“Dried cherries, leather, tar and underbrush dominate the nose, with subtle hints of dried rose petals, balsamic and tobacco leaf. Austere and firmly structured on the palate, with tightly wound tannins that grip the mouth. Flavors of sour cherry, dried cranberry and a hint of licorice emerge, wrapped in a dusty, earthy profile.” — Wine Enthusiast, Sep 2024
