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
“Dark berries and fresh flowers on the nose with hints of toffee and leather, following through to a medium body, with tight and integrated, chewy tannins and a linear finish. Sweet fruit in a pinpointed center palate. Very tight and structured. Give it three or four years of bottle age.”
— James Suckling, Jun 2019
“Intense aromas of cherry, menthol, tar and licorice are the hallmarks of this burly red. This is like an awkward teenager today, showing firm grip on the finish. The lasting impression is tannic, with ample fruit for balance.”
— Wine Spectator, Nov 2019
