The 2008 Barolo Cannubi emerges from the glass with freshly cut roses, sweet raspberries and spices, all supported by French oak. It is a very pretty, attractive wine with plenty of vineyard character and personality. The Cannubi is also the most feminine of the 2008s I tasted from Damilano. A silky, refined finish rounds things out in style. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026. These 2008s from Damilano required considerable aeration to show the full breadth of their potential. At times, the wines still seem excessively oaked. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200

A broad swath of cherry, plum, leather and licorice notes highlights this red, shored up on a firm base of dusty tannins. Sweet fruit makes a lasting impression. Best from 2015 through 2030. 600 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
