Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The Damilano 2016 Barolo Raviole is a lithe and beautiful wine with good energy and inner shine. The fruit is lively and bright with a very vertical or lifted delivery, from the comune of Grinzane Cavour, which offers a different soil profile of mostly calcareous clay. Like a string of pearls, the wine produces a chain of interlocked aromas with forest berry, licorice, campfire embers and crushed limestone. The tannins are elegant and polished. This is the second vintage I have tasted of this wine, and the results are impressive.
• James Suckling: A firm, chewy red with lots of chocolate, sweet-strawberry and walnut aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied, juicy and delicious. Shows wonderful potential.

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.
