"Lecinquevigne" refers to the five vineyards where the Nebbiolo grape for Barolo is harvested. Ruby red in color with orange reflections. An intense bouquet, with tertiary notes of rose, leather, tobacco and emerging notes of violet and tar. The palate is ample and embracing, with prevailing impressions of a soft, persistent long finish. Lecinquevigne is perfect for braised meat , game, mushrooms and aged cheeses.

A blend of fruit from five MGA sites (Brunate, Liste, Cerequio, Cannubi and Raviole), the 2018 Barolo Lecinquevigne shows that pretty, bright character that we see across this entire portfolio from Damilano. This wine is accessible and up front in its delivery of wild cherry, rose and lilac. This expression from the five vineyards definitely sets itself up for a near-term drinking window lasting a decade or so. 60,000 bottles were produced.

Firmly in the savory camp, this red delivers eucalyptus, juniper, sage and smoky flavors, along with cherry and berry notes. Dense and full of ripe fruit, this ends with freshness and length. Best from 2025 through 2038. 5,000 cases made, 2,500 cases imported.
