DAMILANO AZIENDA AGRICOLA S.r.l – Via Roma 31-12060 Barolo (CN)
This release of 7,400 bottles is held back for an extra year of aging, and surely that time in the cellar has paid its dividends. The Damilano 2015 Barolo Liste is defined by a supple or soft character that is extremely well played in terms of mouthfeel. The wine is slender, but everything is in the right place, and the intensity of the flavors is definitely stronger and deeper in this beautiful vintage. The Liste cru is also located in the comune of Barolo, but the soil breakdown here is as follows: 15% sand, 55% silt and 30% clay. In sum, this 2015 Barolo Liste is a unique edition that has used the added time in bottle to its advantage, developing extra smoothness and integration.
Rust and dark berries with chocolate, plums, hazelnuts and currants. It’s full-bodied with chewy but polished tannins and a long, long finish. Needs two to three years to come around. Better after 2023.
Iris, violet and woodland berry aromas take center stage. On the tight, austere palate, roasted coffee bean and powdered sage notes accent cranberry, sour cherry and licorice. Assertive, grainy tannins leave a rather lean finish. KERIN O’KEEFE
Liste is a sub-zone of the prized Barolo area. One of those small, restricted areas that, due to quality and historicity, can be indicated on the label. This is done by the Damilano winery, in particular, one of the celebrities of the Langhe. The grapes, as they should, come from the Liste cru in the commune of Barolo. We are about 350 metres above sea level, with a beautiful south and south-east exposure. Old vines, covering an area of about two hectares. Intense garnet red colour with a few orange reflections, the nose reveals a great Barolo, characterised by a fine and elegant bouquet, with hints of berries, liquorice, tobacco and cocoa. In the mouth it is dry, full. Decidedly full-bodied and persistent, it is an austere yet velvety red. The long ageing in large barrels makes this Barolo a world champion of longevity. Well stored, in a cool, damp cellar, it is not afraid to age for years. Even decades. The advice? You must have at least one box of this wine. In this way, you will be able to uncork a bottle every now and then, gradually appreciating the precious work of time on its delicate aromas. On the table, it accompanies important dishes. Excellent with meat and game in particular. Also perfect with medium, long-aged cheeses.
Damilano is one of Barolo's historic wineries with ancient traditions. Over a hundred years old, even. In fact, the Damilano family's activity dates back to 1890, when Giuseppe Borgogno, great-grandfather of the current owners, began cultivating and vinifying the grapes he owned in the commune of Barolo. However, it was with the next generation, with Giacomo Damilano, the founder's son-in-law, that the winery took on its current name. Since 1997, his grandsons have been at the helm of the fine Langa winery. Guido, Mario and Paolo Damilano carry on the work of their ancestors with commitment, making the most of the Langhe's main grape variety, Nebbiolo, and the most suitable vineyards. But the secret of the high quality of Damilano wines is to be found in the vineyards, located in the elective areas for the production of Nebbiolo grapes, such as the Cannubi, Liste, Brunate and Cerequio Cru.
