Damilano Barolo Lecinquevigne 2017Ruby red in color with orange reflections. An intense bouquet, with tertiary notes of rose, leather, tobacco and emerging notes of violet and tar. The palate is ample and embracing, with prevailing impressions of a soft, persistent, long finish. Lecinquevigne is perfect for braised meat , game, mushrooms and aged cheeses.

A fine-tuned, elegant Barolo with aromas of dried cherries, dried roses, licorice and mint. Full-bodied, it shows smoothness, density, weight and soft tannins despite the structure, with refreshing acidity and a long, vibrant finish full of savory flavors. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

A blend of fruit from five MGA sites (Brunate, Liste, Cerequio, Cannubi and Raviole), this is an ample release of 70,000 bottles. The Damilano 2021 Barolo Lecinquevigne offers nice intensity and standard Nebbiolo complexity with dark fruit, cassis, spice and toasted tobacco leaf. You do not taste the personality of any one site, but that’s not the point. Aged in large botte, the wine is open-knit in texture and immediate. You can wait longer or pull the cork now.

Laced with cherry, strawberry, rose, mineral and white pepper flavors, this red is expressive despite being linear and taut. Firms up on the finish, where lively acidity drives the fruit and savory elements. Shows excellent harmony and potential. Best from 2028 through 2045. 12,500 cases made, 8,000 cases imported.

A vibrant Barolo that leads with pure, lifted aromatics of fresh roses and red cherries. The palate carries this sense of lightness forward, showing elegant fruit and pristine flavors that feel energetic rather than weighty. The finish sparkles with tart red fruits and that unmistakable Nebbiolo vibrancy, leaving your mouth watering for another sip. This wine proves that Barolo’s beauty can come through brightness and purity rather than sheer muscle.
