Damilano

Nestled in the picturesque Langhe region of Piedmont, Italy, the family-owned Damilano estate stands at the forefront of Piedmontese winemaking.

With a tradition spanning generations and a commitment to high-quality sustainable viticulture, Damilano produces wines that capture the essence of Piedmont and delight wine lovers around the world.

The history of the Damilano estate began in 1890, when Giuseppe Borgogno, the great-grandfather of the current owners, purchased the historic Cannubi estate in the heart of Barolo. This acquisition marked the beginning of a family tradition that would endure for generations, with each member bringing their own expertise and passion to the art of winemaking.

Today, Damilano is run by the fourth generation of the family and continues the tradition of producing wines that remain true to both heritage and innovation. This balance between tradition and modernity is the hallmark of Damilano’s success.

The estate owns an impressive range of vineyards in the most sought-after sites of the Barolo winegrowing region. Each vineyard is meticulously tended with the utmost respect for the terroir, as the family believes that great wines are born in the vineyard. Respect for the land of the Langhe forms the basis of the family’s sustainability concept.

At Damilano, winemaking is a delicate act of balance between tradition and innovation. Traditional methods such as long macerations and ageing in large oak casks are used to preserve the authentic character of Barolo. At the same time, modern techniques and state-of-the-art equipment are employed to ensure precision and consistency.

Damilano’s commitment to quality has not gone unnoticed in the world of wine. Its wines have received numerous awards and accolades, further strengthening its reputation as a leading producer of Barolo. Critics and enthusiasts alike praise Damilano for its unwavering dedication to quality.
