DAMILANO Barolo DOCG Cannubi 2016 Bottle (100% Nebbiolo)

Description

The secret to high quality is found in the grapes destined to become Damilano wines. The grapes are cultivated in prestigious and select vineyards that the company looks after with the same attention and respect as the winery’s founders, as well as the skills of modern winemaking in order to pursue the highest quality. Damilano’s Nebbiolo production culminates in the great cru wines: Cannubi, Liste, Brunate, Cerequio and Raviole.

Cannubi is considered the Grand Cru vineyard for the Barolo, an extraordinary wine in terms of style and elegance.

The absolute high quality of the grapes picked on the Cannubi hill is the result of a unique land composition: an unevolved soil with clay-rich marl, grey and white on the surface. The soil in which the Damilano vines are found features a high percentage of sand (up to 45%) that gives the grapes intense aromas of cherry, plum and tobacco, rose and violet in sequence. Its low potassium and high calcium/magnesium content offer the wine a fine and polished touch. Its colour is intense and bright, and it has a high polyphenol concentration.
