Damilano Barolo DOCG Cannubi

VINTAGE 2016: The fruit feels so comfortable here, in the ripe-red zone; it ranges from cherry kernel to chocolate-coated red plums to glazed cherries. Integrated hints of bark and sandalwood. Full-bodied with strapping tannins and muscular, imposing structure and power. Notwithstanding, everything is in striking balance and delivered with remarkable precision and grit. CANNUBI is considered the Grand CRU of Barolo, an extraordinary wine made of style and elegance. The absolute quality of the grapes from the Cannubi hill is determined by the particular composition of the soil: they are not very developed soils, consisting of clayey marl gray-whitish on the surface. The land where Damilano's vineyards are located, has a high percentage of sand (up to 45%) which gives the grapes intense aromas of cherry, plum and tobacco, rose and violet in evolution. A little potassium, good calcium and magnesium give the wine finesse and elegance. With an intense and lively color, the wine has a high polyphenolic concentration. The eye is struck by its ruby ​​red garnet color with orange reflections. There is a broad, embracing perfume, with evident fruity notes of cherry and plum and evolved hints of tobacco, licorice and cocoa. At the palate it is embracing with an harmonious, pleasantly dry flavor. Soft tannins, structured, balanced, full body and mouthfeel with a long persistent finish.
