Wine Description

"Lecinquevigne" refers to the five vineyards where the Nebbiolo grape for Barolo is harvested.

The Damilano company 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
“The 2014 Barolo Lecinquevigne is a nice, accessible wine for Barolo newbies. It has a lean appearance with flashes of black licorice and scorched earth, along with some interesting tar or asphalt notes.”
— Wine Advocate, Apr 2019
Her “ah-ha” wine, and describing it as “savory with earthiness and black cherry notes.” She comments that the wines featured “have so much structure and character because of the soils they are grown in” and “makes them very good food wines that might not be on your radar but should be.”
