Today, our focus is on the Damilano wine range.
Damilano is one of few traditional, heritage rich, centuries-old Barolo wine makers.
In fact, the Damilano family has been active since 1890 when Giuseppe Borgogno, the great-grandfather of the current owners, started farming and making wine from the family-owned vineyard in Barolo (Cuneo), in the Langhe area that the wine was named after. It’s a beautiful and generous land that has been the heart of producing the “king of wines” for centuries.
It wasn’t until the following generation that Giacomo Damilano, the founder’s son-in-law, gave the winery its current name. It was he who was the catalyst to preserve the vines and apply constant innovation in the quality of the winemaking process, ensuring the winery has become a “jewel” to proudly pass on to his nephews, who have managed the company since 1997.
Guido, Mario, and Paolo Damilano have given new life to the family company, particularly giving value to the prized grape of the Langhe – the Nebbiolo – and specific terroirs, the Cannubi above all.
I’ve created a list of the Damilano wines that are available for purchase at
