Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Damliano is alone when it comes to the collection of prime vineyard sites in its farming portfolio. The Damilano 2016 Barolo Cerequio comes from one of the most precious sites in the appellation. This wine offers a linear and sharply focused quality that is one of the main characteristics of Cerequio. I am pleased to find this same quality in most of the other producers who farmed here in 2016. The wine strives for the high tones with pretty cherry and cassis folded into earth and crushed limestone.

• James Suckling: A tannic wine, yet the tannins are round and ripe with softness and ripeness. Medium to full body. Firm and racy with beautiful length. The real deal. Needs time to soften.

Producer Information

The origins of the Damilano family company dates back to over a century ago, when Guiseppe Borgogno, the great-grandfather of the current owners, started to grow and make wine from his own grapes. This tradition was kept up by Giacomo Damilano, the founder’s son-in-law, together with his children, until it was passed on to his 4 grandchildren, who very attentively manage their forefathers’ land today. The wines produced are renowned for their upright style and the estate is widely appreciated due to the strictness and passion that accompany all of the company's activities.
The vineyards, partly owned and partly leased, are situated in the most famous crus of the Langa region: Cannubi, Liste, Fossati, and Brunate, which are almost entirely cultivated with Nebbiolo da Barolo, and to a lesser extent, with Dolcetto and Barbera varietals.
