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.

This is my favorite bottle among this collection of new releases from the Damilano family. The 2020 Barolo Cannubi represents much bigger production than you might expect, with intensity and complete aromas of dark fruit, rusty nail, crushed stone and grilled herb. Perhaps its robust power and concentration takes away from the lightness and finesse of Nebbiolo, but it gives the wine a heavier overall footprint that will pair well with grilled meats. — Wine Advocate, Jan 2025
There’s refinement to this red, along with a solid structure. This sets the stage for sour cherry, orange peel, tamarind, iron, earth and eucalyptus flavors. The tannins dominate on the finish, with a lightly astringent feel, yet this is long. — Wine Spectator, Dec 2024
