| Wine maker notes |
| Cerequio is an important vineyard known for its superior terroir, comprised of loose, deep soil. The land gives the vines greater access to water, which favors the production of wines that are more structured, tannic and powerful. Located in the Piedmont town of La Morra, the vineyard is in a small area called Cerequio, where the Nebbiolo varietal thrives in calcareous-clay soil with a low percentage of sand. This 100% Nebbiolo wine is produced from Nebbiolo vines that are over 30 years old and enjoy great ventilation and south-east exposure. This wine has a gratifying garnet-red color with highlights which evolve to burnt orange hues as it ages. It has a fruit nose of cherry and violet accompanied by hints of balsamic, vanilla and liquorice. Intense, elegant and persistent in taste, this wine expresses red fruit notes that give way to tobacco and leather as it ages. This wine is best served at 61°F-63°F. |
| Producer |
| Damilano Wine Company is one of the oldest wineries in Barolo with historic traditions. The Damilano family business dates back to 1890 when Giuseppe Borgogno, the great grandfather of the winery’s current owners, began to vinify his own estate wines. The town of Barolo resides in the generous and beautiful Langhe region, and its name was taken on by the “king of wines”. It is with great passion that Giacomo Damilano, the founder’s son-in-law, developed with his children a love for the vineyards, selecting and maintaining them with great care in order to improve the quality of the wines. Over time, the winery’s production was transformed into a jewel that was passed down with pride in 1997 to Giacomo’s grandchildren, who continue to manage the winery today. Paolo, Mario and Guido Damilano, the fourth generation, have brought new vigor to the family business, strengthening and developing the fruit which this extraordinary land has to offer. Always looking forward, they continually seek innovations to further refine Damilano’s production. |
