97 points and In Stock

Damilano is one of the oldest wineries in Barolo. Their history dates back to the 1890s and has been run by the same family the entire time. “The value of a winery is based on three fundamental pillars: Land, History and People.” The place that is Barolo, the history of the winery for almost 150 years, and the people that create the wine. Lecinquevigne means “the five vineyards,” and it is from this collection of vineyards that this beautiful wine is created.

Just arrived and ready to spend a few years in your cellar!

Best In Show - Decanter World Wine Awards 2023

The second of our brace of 2019 Baroli is the darker of the pair, perhaps the result of having spent only 24 rather than 36 months in wood. It, too, is a wine of gentleness and refinement, with bright plum fruits and warm spice both apparent in the aromas, within the context of an aromatic profile both seamless and harmonious. It’s ample

in the palate yet round-contoured, with acidity here as important an element of the wine’s structure as is tannin. The tannins, indeed, are unintimidating and supportive – but resonant and flavoury, too, in best Barolo style. The overall impression of an easy-rolling roundness is underscored by the wealth of fruit which sings through the palate. For all that, this is a serious Barolo which could easily take five to ten years’ further ageing: an ideal introduction to the pleasures of the 2019 vintage in this emblematic Piedmontese region. - Decanter World Wine Awards

#1 James Suckling's Top 100 Italian Wines of 2023

This is a phenomenal Barolo from a benchmark vintage. It’s so powerful and structured with toned and muscular tannins that run the length of the wine. Classic structure. Full-bodied but tight and intense. Flavors of forest floor, fresh mushroom, truffle, and cedar. Dried flowers, too. It goes on for minutes. This needs at least eight years to soften. Leave in the cellar! One of the greatest Cannubis ever. From the original parcel of the vineyard. Aged five years in cask and two years in bottle. Try after 2030.
