Description
What kind of wine it is
Damilano Barolo Lecinquevigne is a full-bodied and structured red wine, an authentic expression of the prestigious Barolo. Made from Nebbiolo grapes, it offers a fresh and balanced profile. On the nose, it reveals an intense aromatic bouquet, with developed notes of rose, leather and tobacco, and hints of violet and goudron. On the palate, it is broad and enveloping, driven by firm yet mature tannins, well integrated. Its great smoothness accompanies a long and persistent finish, highlighting the overall elegance of the composition.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the heart of Piedmont, within the boundaries of Barolo. The grapes come from a careful blend of five different terroirs in the province of Cuneo, chosen to provide a comprehensive interpretation of the area. It is produced by Damilano, a historic Piedmontese winery whose winemaking roots date back to the nineteenth century. The combination of these vineyards enhances the pedoclimatic characteristics of the region, ensuring rigorous production continuity and a strong connection with its geographical origin.
How it is produced
The process begins with a careful manual harvest. Afterwards, the must undergoes fermentation at a controlled temperature for fifteen days, the time needed to extract the aromas and consolidate the wine's structure. This is followed by an essential maturation in barrel for about two years before bottling, a stage that ensures proper ageing. In the glass, it displays a deep ruby red colour with orange highlights, introducing a warm and enveloping sip that faithfully reflects the identity of the region.
History and Curiosities
Barolo Lecinquevigne by Damilano embodies the essence of one of the oldest wineries in Piedmont, whose roots date back to the nineteenth century, well before its official founding in 1935. This wine celebrates the deep connection with the land, skilfully blending the finest Nebbiolo grapes grown in five different terroirs. From this synergy is born a noble Barolo DOCG that preserves the legacy of Giuseppe Borgogno, offering connoisseurs an authentic and prestigious expression of the local winemaking tradition.
