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
“Expressive, featuring raspberry, cherry liqueur and floral aromas and flavors. This has a succulence initially, before the solid tannins emerge. Long, delivering underbrush and iron accents.”
— Wine Spectator, Dec 2022
“The Damilano 2018 Barolo Brunate is immediately lively and polished, and it is a charmer. I found this expression to be especially bright and intense, even at this early stage. It offers a pretty medley of wild cherry and earthy tones with spice, licorice and camphor ash. The mouthfeel is polished and smooth. The only element out of place is the high 15% alcohol content, but unfortunately, this is a trend that we see across this vintage and across the appellation.”
