Description
What kind of wine it is
Barolo Lecinquevigne by Damilano embodies the authentic character of Nebbiolo. To the eye, it displays a ruby red colour enriched with delicate orange reflections. The bouquet is intense, characterised by evolved notes of rose, leather and tobacco, accompanied by hints of violet and goudron. On the palate, it is broad, enveloping and well-structured, finishing with a persistent finish.
Where it comes from
This red wine originates in Piedmont, in the prestigious Barolo area, in the province of Cuneo. Its deep connection to its land of origin gives the wine a remarkable ageing potential, capable of exceeding twenty-five years. Thanks to its versatility, it expresses its structure best when paired with red meat dishes, game and mature cheeses.
How it is produced
The vinification process involves temperature-controlled fermentation lasting fifteen days, a technique that allows for a clean definition of the fruit and optimal extraction of tannins. To fully appreciate its aromatic breadth, it is recommended to decant for one hour and serve at an ideal temperature between sixteen and eighteen degrees Celsius.
