The 2011 Barolo Cerequio is a balanced and beautiful wine from one of the most panoramic vineyard sites in the appellation. It ages for two slow years in botte grande and rests in bottle for an additional year before its commercial release. The bouquet reveals delicate nuances with a degree of the menthol and chopped herb characteristics you sometimes get with Nebbiolo from Cerequio. The finish is extra smooth and silky. This wine will age soundly for a decade or more. -WA
The Damilano family business dates back to 1890 when Giuseppe Borgogno, the great grandfather of the current owners, first began to make his own estate wines. The vineyards were then developed by his son-in-law, Giacomo Damilano. The estate comprises 53 hectares (131 acres) of vineyards, including plots in four of the Barolo Cru vineyards which make four single-vineyard wines: Cannubi, Brunate, Cerequio and Liste. In addition, Damilano produces Lecinquevigne, a Barolo from vineyards in five different towns around the region. Outside of Barolo, the range also includes Nebbiolo d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba and Dolcetto d'Alba, Barbera d'Asti, Langhe Arneis, Rosato, Moscato d'Asti, Barolo Chinato and Grappa di Nebbiolo di Barolo.
