DAMILANO | Piemonte

Table 6

The Damilano name carries with it more than 100 years of winemaking history in the heart of Italy’s most dynamic, competitive, and prestigious wine zone: Barolo. Damilano is one of the oldest wineries in Barolo, founded by Giuseppe Borgogno in 1890. Giacomo Damilano, the founder’s son-in-law, took over the winery operation in 1935, growing the business and improving quality. Today, Giacomo’s grandchildren Paolo, Mario and Guido run the family company and are still working to maintain and improve quality in the vineyard. Damilano’s vineyards occupy some of the most world-renowned and historic vineyards in Barolo, on what is perhaps the most historically important sites of all, the hill of Cannubi. Damilano owns one of the largest sections in the historical core of the hill and nearly all of the section just to the west, known as Cannubi Valletta.
