The origins of the Damilano family dates back to over a century ago, when Guiseppe Borgogno, the great-grandfather of the current owners, started to grow and make wine from his own grapes. Medium Ruby with aromas of fresh berry fruits and generous spice. On the palate this medium body wine shows flavors of juicy cherry and blackberry with notes of citrus and vanilla spice. Light tannin structure, lively acidity, medium ending with fruit finish. Nice value. Drink now, consistent, no aging benefit. — 2 years ago
Excellent but more of the robust profile with tannins softened but still resolving, more time? — 8 months ago
My third wine from Damilano. Very good. With red (raspberry mostly) and dark fruit (blackberry). Also: vanilla, licorice (maybe) and leather. — 2 years ago
Pinkish Italian wine, very well developed. Reminds me of a rombauer or earthquake zin. Solid. Only drink if you want something deep, rich, and complex. Pairs very well with green grapes and crackers, but not a dry aged steak or seafood. Not a heavy drinking wine.

Okay Nebbiolo. Not much going on. Subtle and deep red fruit and not much finish. Disappointing. — a month ago

This 7 year old Barolo is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Good by itself or with food, and a great sipping wine.
