The Damilano 2018 Barolo Brunate is immediately lively and polished, and it is a charmer. I found this expression to be especially bright and intense, even at this early stage. It offers a pretty medley of wild cherry and earthy tones with spice, licorice and camphor ash. The mouthfeel is polished and smooth. The only element out of place is the high 15% alcohol content, but unfortunately, this is a trend that we see across this vintage and across the appellation. It’s certainly not limited to this 2,900-bottle production.

Wine Spectator
Expressive, featuring raspberry, cherry liqueur and floral aromas and flavors. This has a succulence initially, before the solid tannins emerge. Long, delivering underbrush and iron accents. Best from 2025 through 2042. 240 cases made, 75 cases imported.

James Suckling
Aromas and flavors of red berries and goji berries, with hints of red tile and black cardamom. Medium-bodied with a tasty palate and lightly firm tannins that allow the fruit to travel a while. Lacks a bit of mid-palate intensity, but the flavors are endearing. Drinkable now, but best from 2023.
Winery Notes
Garnet red in color with orange reflections. An intense bouquet with notes of violet, balsamic and small red berries. The palate is intense, elegant and persistent, with nuances of red fruit, tobacco, liquorice and with ageing truffles and cinnamon.
