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
“The bouquet on the 2015 Barolo Cannubi shows more licorice and dark spice than the other new releases from Damilano. There is good volume here, and at the same time, the wine is contained and focused. However, it's just slightly flat, and along with a general lack of intensity, that keeps it from a higher score. I'm picturing this with a rabbit tagliatelle. Some 40,000 bottles were made.”
— Wine Advocate, Jun 2019
“Lots of dried flowers, mushrooms and earth to the ripe and exotic fruit. Full body, chewy and intense tannins and a flavorful finish. Needs lots of time to come together.”
— James Suckling, Jun 2019
