The Damilano 2020 Lecinquevigne Barolo opens with a ruby red hue tinged with orange reflections, offering an aromatic bouquet that blends classic Barolo notes of rose, leather, and tobacco with emerging hints of violet and tar. On the palate, it reveals a supple and harmonious structure, stitched with pure cherry and raspberry fruit, complemented by mineral, eucalyptus, and balsamic undertones. The tannins are firm yet refined, and the wine finishes with a soft, persistent length that speaks to its aging potential. This Barolo pairs beautifully with braised meats, game, earthy mushrooms, and aged cheeses, making it a versatile companion for rich and savory dishes.
