The producer

Damilano owns one of the largest holdings in Cannubi, making the estate's Cannubi bottling among the most widely distributed expressions of this prestigious site.
What critics say
Damilano Cannubi consistently receives strong reviews and is regarded as a benchmark Cannubi expression. The 2010 Barolo vintage is widely regarded as one of the great vintages of the modern era.
