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.

Acclaim
“Liquored raspberries waft from the glass, accompanied by drying rose petals, medicinal herbs and cinchona bark. The wine is well balanced, with sour red fruits and earthy elements working in tandem, leading to a finish with dusty, earthy notes and mouth-watering acidity.” – (Cellar Selection) — Wine Enthusiast, Mar 2024
“In a heavy glass bottle, the 2019 Barolo Cannubi shows notes of dried fruit and redcurrant over a mid-weight, dark ruby appearance. This expression from the celebrated Cannubi cru (with its classic mix of sand, loam and clay) also shows a mineral-driven side with rusty nail and baked clay. There are savory hints of black licorice and crushed rose as well. The effect is long, polished and drying in this bigger production of 35,000 bottles.”
