    I am impressed by the 2012 Barolo Cannubi. This celebrated vineyard site suffered serious hail damage in the 2012 vintage, and the vintners who farm this cru resorted to severe fruit selection in order to safeguard quality. Damilano has pulled out the best of the vintage for sure. This is a beautiful wine that boasts a delicate and feminine approach. There is pressed rose, dried violet, wild berry, cassis, cola, truffle and tilled earth. Lighter aromas of ash and smoke lift gracefully from the glass. The tannins are silky and long.

  • James Suckling 95

    A tannic and structured red with dried-strawberry, stone and cedar character. Medium-to full-bodied, chewy and muscular — yet polished and well-formed. Drink or hold. Better in 22 but so classy now.

  • Wine Enthusiast 92

    Aromas of ripe berry, menthol chopped herb, dark spice and a balsamic note float out of the glass. On the dense palate, cinnamon, baking spice, and tobacco add depth to the juicy black cherry core. Firm, fine-grained tannins provide the framework. KERIN O’KEEFE

    Barolo DOCG Cannubi 2012
  • Cannubi is considered the Grand Cru of Barolo, an extraordinary wine in terms of style and elegance. This is due to the absolute quality of the grapes from the hill of the same name, where the soils are poorly developed, consisting of greyish-white clay marls on the surface. In the part owned by the Damilano family, in particular, the soil has a high percentage of sand (up to 45%) that gives the grapes intense aromas of cherry, plum and tobacco, rose and violet in evolution. Intense and lively in colour, Barolo Cannubi by Damilano presents itself in the glass with an intense polyphenolic concentration. At first glance, its ruby-garnet red colour with a limited presence of orange reflections is striking. The bouquet is particularly broad and enveloping, with clear fruity notes of cherry and plum and evolved hints of tobacco, liquorice and cocoa. In the mouth, on the other hand, one immediately discovers a pleasantly harmonious and dry wine, with soft tannins and clear sensations of body and fullness. A Barolo that is fabulous even today but that is in no hurry to leave its bottle. A wine of this calibre has the capacity to continue to mature for a long time in the cellar. It only requires a suitable environment for its rest. Let's wake it up in 10 or 15 years.... It will still be able to give us great, great satisfaction. Truffles, braised meats and rich roasts. This wine will certainly be able to make every dish taste even better.

    Damilano is one of Barolo's historic wineries with ancient traditions. Over a hundred years old, even. In fact, the Damilano family's activity dates back to 1890, when Giuseppe Borgogno, great-grandfather of the current owners, began cultivating and vinifying the grapes he owned in the commune of Barolo. However, it was with the next generation, with Giacomo Damilano, the founder's son-in-law, that the winery took on its current name. Since 1997, his grandsons have been at the helm of the fine Langa winery. Guido, Mario and Paolo Damilano carry on the work of their ancestors with commitment, making the most of the Langhe's main grape variety, Nebbiolo, and the most suitable vineyards. But the secret of the high quality of Damilano wines is to be found in the vineyards, located in the elective areas for the production of Nebbiolo grapes, such as the Cannubi, Liste, Brunate and Cerequio Cru.
