Damilano - 2020 - Barolo Cannubi - 750 ml.

Damilano Barolo Cannubi is a single-vineyard Barolo from the Cannubi cru in Piedmont, Italy. This is classic Nebbiolo from one of Barolo’s most revered sites: Cannubi is prized for producing wines that balance aromatic lift with structural finesse. Damilano’s expression shows the imprimatur of place — cherry and plum fruit at the core, layered with leather, dried herbs and spice. The wine’s tannic spine is firm and structured, giving both immediate presence and long-term aging potential. This bottle suits both collectors and serious cooks looking for a Nebbiolo that rewards time in the cellar and stands up to rich, savory cuisine. Expect a wine that is elegant but authoritative: fine-grained tannins, energetic acidity, and a savory finish that echoes tobacco and underbrush beneath red fruit. Serve with classic Piedmont pairings like braised beef, roasted game and mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses that match its texture and intensity. If you appreciate Barolo’s ability to evolve in bottle — shifting from bright cherry to truffle, leather and complex tertiary notes — Damilano’s Cannubi is a precise, terroir-driven example. This is a wine to decant when young and to cellar for a decade or more to enjoy the layer-by-layer development that makes Cannubi bottlings so admired.
