Damilano has been working in Barolo since 1890, back when Giuseppe Borgogno was farming his own vines. Which is to say this house knows Piedmont about as well as anyone gets to. Straw yellow, with a delicate, fresh, fruity bouquet, it's dry and elegantly harmonic across the mid-palate, acidity present but never pushy. Over a century of Barolo pedigree, and here it is in a white.
About the Producer
The Damilano name carries with it more than 100 years of winemaking history in the heart of Italy's most dynamic, competitive, and prestigious wine zone; Barolo. Damilano is one of the oldest wineries in Barolo, dating back to 1890, when Giuseppe Borgogno started cultivating grapes and producing wine from his own vineyards. Giacomo Damilano, the founder’s son-in-law, took over the winery operation in 1935. Giacomo grew the business, and improved the general quality of both the vinification system and the vineyards, turning the winery into a “jewel” of the Langhe area.
