Famous long before the wine region of Barolo even existed, the "cru" or top vineyard of Cannubi is home to some of the most elegant, complex, and structured Italian red wines. Damilano's vineyards occupy some of the largest sections of the most historic sites on the hill of Cannubi, and nearly all the section just to the west, known as Cannubi Valletta. The name Lecinquevigne, or five vineyards, showcases not just Cannubi, but encorporates Brunate, Liste, Cerequio, and Raviole as well. This appellation-wide tasting of Barolo put the focus on the Nebbiolo grape more than any single vineyard. These kinds of blends work very well in a vintage like 2019 that holds its own in terms of balance, intensity, and texture. 97 Points and Best in Show at the 2023 Decanter World Wine Awards, this ready-to-drink Barolo showcases a polished palate with juicy black cherry notes accompanied by taut, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. A steal at $38.99, don't miss our lowest price for this acclaimed Barolo!
"A wine of gentleness and refinement, with bright plum fruits and warm spice both apparent in the aromas, within the context of an aromatic profile both seamless and harmonious. It’s ample in the palate yet round-contoured, with acidity here as important an element of the wine’s structure as is tannin. The tannins, indeed, are unintimidating and supportive – but resonant and flavory, too, in best Barolo style. The overall impression of an easy-rolling roundness is underscored by the wealth of fruit which sings through the palate. An ideal introduction to the pleasures of the 2019 vintage in this emblematic Piedmontese region. Best in Show." Decanter Magazine, 97 Points
