Cannubi

2008 Barolo Red Blend

The Damilano Cannubi is an exquisite red blend hailing from the prestigious Barolo region, renowned for its exceptional Nebbiolo-based wines. This 2008 vintage showcases a stunning deep red color that captures the eye and entices the senses. On the palate, the wine offers a full-bodied experience, characterized by high acidity that lends a refreshing brightness to its complex flavor profile. The tannins are notable yet elegantly structured, providing a firm backbone while integrating beautifully with the wine's fruit intensity. Expect prominent flavors of dark fruit, such as black cherry and plum, interwoven with hints of floral notes, spice, and earthiness, making this wine beautifully layered. The Damilano Cannubi presents itself as a dry wine, making it a superb choice for pairing with hearty dishes or savoring on its own. Its rich character and exceptional craftsmanship truly reflect the essence of Barolo's remarkable terroir.

Italy

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.
