Damilano Nebbiolo d'Alba Piedmonte Italy 2024

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. The results of his hard work were passed down with great pride to his grandchildren Paolo, Mario and Guido in 1997: they gave new vigour to the family company and they are still working to maintain and improve quality in the vineyards. The Damilano name stands, not only for longevity, but for top quality.

Tasting Notes: Nebbiolo grapes and the loam/clay-rich soil in the townships of Langhe are the fundamental traits that give this wine its ruby red color with hints of maroon reflections, a delicate and unique fragrance with tips of violet and red fruit, and finally a balanced tannic taste and a velvety, harmonic body.

Pairing Suggestions: Pepperoni Pizza, Eggplant Parmesan, Spaghetti Meatballs
