Damilano

Piedmont, Italy (Vias Imports)

The Damilano family business dates back to 1890. Paolo, Mario and Guido Damilano, the fourth generation, have brought new vigor to the family business while upholding Damilano’s historic production philosophy: high quality wines can only come from high quality grapes. Chinato has Greek and Roman origins, where these wines were prevalently used for medicinal purposes. Their use was spread through medieval Europe by friars and apothecaries. At the end of the nineteenth century, vermouth from Turin and Barolo chinato wines established themselves in Piedmont.
