Barolo DOCG Cannubi Perhaps the most iconic vineyard in the entire Barolo DOCG, Cannubi is hallowed ground for Nebbiolo lovers. The holdings of Damilano can be found in two points on the Cannubi hill: the historical core of Cannubi and the steep section slightly west of the historical core (toward the village of Barolo). A mixture of Tortonian and Helvetian calcareous marl soil gives the grapes intense aromas of cherry, plum and tobacco, rose and violet in sequence. The vineyard is located at a height of about 885 ft. above sea level and has a south-southeast exposure.

Barolo DOCG Liste Liste is a single vineyard in the comune of Barolo that can be found half-way up the ridge that extends upward from the Sarmassa MGA. The Liste cru orginated around 13 millon years ago due to erosion of the overlying terrain. As a result, its composition differs slightly from the other Langhe lands and gives the wine an unequalled complexity and longevity.

“LeCinqueVigne” Barolo Riserva DOCG LeCinqueVigne Riserva is comprised of the best fruit from five parcels in Castellero (Barolo), Bussia (Monforte d’Alba), Parussi (Castiglione Falletto), Fossati (La Morra) and Monvigliero (Verduno). Ferementation with indigenous yeasts is followed by 36 months aging in 100HL barrels (80%) and 225L second-passage barriques (20%). Only limited quantities produced.

“1752” Barolo Riserva DOCG Cannubi “1752” is the name of the Damilano Barolo Cannubi Riserva, in honor of the year in which the historic bottle was first marked “Cannubi.” The bottle still exists today perfectly conserved by the Manzone family in Bra. The bottle is clearly marked as being of “1752” vintage, indicating that Cannubi historically precedes Barolo. Damilano’s “1752” Barolo Riserva DOCG Cannubi is sourced from a 2ha section of vines aged 30-50 years at the historical core of the legendary Cannubi hill. This is the highest and centermost point on the Cannubi hill. Damilano “1752” Barolo Riserva DOCG Cannubi is a wine of precision and power; finesse and balance. A wine to lay down and cherish.

Barolo Chinato Aromatized Barolo wines became popular in the Langhe during the 1800’s when Vermouth was becoming a fashionable drink in Torino. Barolo Chinato is a flavored wine based on Barolo DOCG with sugar, alcohol, bark of china calissaja (hence the name) and infusion of aromatic herbs and spices using the ancient recipes handed down from generation to generation. Barolo Chinato can be served at end of a meal as a digestif, or meditation wine, but is equally as pleasing over ice and with a splash of soda water.
