The vineyard for this cru is only four hectares, and half of the land here is owned by Damilano. Liste is located up on a hilltop and its vineyards are what visitors see while driving up the famous Alba-Barolo provincial road. The calcareous and limestone soil in Liste helps the wine develop incredibly complex aromas and a deep, powerful structure. Its bright acidity and smooth tannins contribute to give great longevity to the wine. Even the depth of the terrain and the vast water availability favour the production of firmer, tannic, and powerful wines, so much so that Liste is put on the market a year after its “brothers”. Damilano’s Liste Cru has intense notes of mixed berries, liquorice, tobacco and cocoa on the nose. It is dry, full, and velvety on the palate, with a long, persistent finish.
