Damilano Barolo Cannubi 2021
#55 Wine of the Year, Wine Spectator (2025)Â
96 Points, James Suckling – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
“From Barolo’s most storied hill comes a wine that plays all the greatest hits: red cherries, fresh roses, and that distinctive tar-and-roses perfume that makes Nebbiolo fanatics weak in the knees. It struts the classic Cannubi confidence with ripe fruit, subtle spices, and those perfectly placed tannins that feel like they’re tailored by an Italian suit maker. This is Barolo showing off its best dress, ready for a night out but still knowing how to keep it real. Pure Nebbiolo pleasure from a vineyard that’s been turning heads for centuries. “

96 Points, James Suckling
A very restrained, remarkably elegant wine showing licorice, red currant, mint and balsamic notes on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, it shows ripe, elegant tannins, chewy acidity and youthful style in the long, precise finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2027 for more complexity.
95 Points, Wine Spectator (#55 Wine of the Year, Top 100 – 2025)
Well-defined raspberry, cherry, menthol, iron, tar and woodsy aromas and flavors mark this intense, linear red. Juicy fruit and dense tannins square off, both heightened by the vibrant acidity. Shows fine balance, but just needs time. Best from 2029 through 2047.
The name Damilano carries serious weight throughout all of Piedmont. They’re a food and winemaking institution. Not only are they known for being one of the oldest and most consistent wineries in Barolo dating back to the late 1800’s, but the family also owns and operates a Michelin-starred restaurant in La Morra.
Ever since Giacomo Damilano took over the family business in 1935, a revolution in the winery and the vines has resulted in the appropriate nickname ‘the jewel of the Langhe’. They are a constant on Top 100 lists from all wine critics but most notably Wine Spectator. In the 2021 vintage, that trend continues with a placement at #55 on Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2025.
