Barolo Riserva Cannubi

2009 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Damilano Barolo Riserva Cannubi is a stunning example of the elegance and complexity that Nebbiolo can achieve, especially from the renowned Barolo region. This full-bodied red exudes a captivating garnet hue, hinting at its deep character. On the palate, it showcases high acidity that invigorates the senses, creating a mouthwatering experience that perfectly balances the wine's notable tannins. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering rich layers of dark cherry and plum accompanied by delicate floral notes and a hint of earthiness that Nebbiolo is celebrated for. With its pronounced dryness, this exquisite wine is a remarkable expression of the Cannubi vineyard, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with savory dishes or simply enjoying on its own.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
