Description
What kind of wine it is
Damilano Barolo Cannubi is a still red wine from Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo grapes and belonging to the renowned Barolo area. It displays a garnet ruby red colour enriched with orange reflections. On the nose, it offers a broad and enveloping bouquet, characterised by fruity notes of cherry and plum, followed by evolved hints of tobacco, liquorice and cocoa. On the palate, it is harmonious and dry, with a progression of great body and smooth tannins. This structure perfectly balances the intensity of the flavours, making it ideal to accompany meat dishes, game and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
It originates from the prestigious Cannubi vineyard, located in the municipality of Barolo. The vines benefit from a south and south-east exposure, an orientation that encourages even ripening and shapes a well-defined aromatic profile. The calcareous soil, composed of sand, silt and clay, gives the wine a distinct identity, promoting the development of polished tannins and a broad gustatory texture. These territorial characteristics ensure remarkable evolution over time, with excellent ageing potential.
How it is produced
Damilano's production follows organic and sustainable practices, working the Nebbiolo grapes through a temperature-controlled fermentation lasting about twenty days. This process is essential to properly manage aromatic extraction and define the structure of the sip, maintaining clarity and expressive consistency. To best enhance the nuances of its sensory profile, it is recommended to decant for at least an hour before consumption and to serve at a temperature between eighteen and twenty degrees.
History and Curiosities
Born from the prestigious Cannubi vineyard, this organic Barolo DOCG from Damilano embodies the excellence of Piedmont. The Nebbiolo vines, facing south-east, sink their roots into a calcareous terroir rich in sand, giving the wine unparalleled elegance and an enveloping bouquet. Highly acclaimed by international critics, with a score of 96 points from James Suckling, this oenological gem perfectly combines sustainability with great ageing potential. A red wine with a superb structure, capable of offering a unique and rewarding tasting experience.
