Description
What kind of wine it is
Damilano Barolo Brunate is a still red wine with a garnet colour and orange reflections. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of wild berries, liquorice, tobacco and cocoa. On the palate, it expresses the typical character of Nebbiolo with a dry structure and full body, offering an austere and velvety sip with long persistence. These qualities make it the ideal companion for structured dishes based on red meats, game, pork and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Piedmont, in the prestigious Brunate subzone within the municipality of La Morra. The vines sink their roots into calcareous soils enriched with sand, silt and clay, elements that provide a complex structure. The favourable south and south-east exposure ensures ideal ripening of the grapes. The Damilano winery manages these vineyards by applying the principles of organic and sustainable viticulture to protect the authenticity of the area of origin.
How it is produced
The production process respects the integrity of the harvest through a temperature-controlled fermentation lasting twenty days, designed to extract colour and aromas in a balanced way. This method defines the elegant profile of Barolo, ensuring a remarkable ageing potential ranging from ten to fifteen years. To fully enjoy its nuances, a serving temperature between eighteen and twenty degrees and one hour of decanting is recommended.
