Damilano Description

Winemaker Notes

Garnet ruby red in color with orange reflections. The bouquet is ample and embracing, with pronounced fruity notes of cherry and plum and notes of tobacco, licorice and cocoa. On the palate, the wine is harmonious, pleasantly dry with soft tannins, broad and full-bodied. Persistent finish.

Cannubi is a sumptuous wine, perfect with the full-flavored Piedmontese cuisine such as white truffle -based dishes and braised meat. Ideal with the refined dishes of the great international gastronomy.

Professional Ratings

95James Suckling
This classic, concentrated and meaty wine offers lean red fruits, beef jus and fine-grained tannins. Vibrant acidity deftly lifts the flavors and livens the texture for an elegance that will also stand the test of time. Best from 2028.
94Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This is my favorite bottle among this collection of new releases from the Damilano family. The 2020 Barolo Cannubi represents a much bigger production than you might expect, with 35,000 bottles created. Aged in large oak cask, it offers good focus in terms of its aromatic intensity and complete aromas of dark fruit, rusty nail, crushed stone and grilled herb. Perhaps its robust power and concentration takes away from the lightness and finesse of Nebbiolo, but it gives the wine a heavier overall footprint that will pair well with grilled meats.
93Wine Spectator
There's refinement to this red, along with a solid structure. This sets the stage for sour cherry, orange peel, tamarind, iron, earth and eucalyptus flavors. The tannins dominate on the finish, with a lightly astringent feel, yet this is long. Best from 2027 through 2043.
90Wine Enthusiast
This Barolo is a lush, rich wine with a firm structure. Roasted earth and sun-baked black cherries, figs, dates, and plums dominate the palate, accompanied by warm cinnamon and nutmeg. The complexity is impressive, with layers of flavor unfolding blending lush fruits with savory herbs, cherry wood, anise and clove. A wine of substance and depth with tannins that both reflective the grape and the vintage. Drink Now - 2038.
