Damilano’s Cannubi is a single-vineyard Barolo from one of the village’s named hillsides. The 2010 has concentrated plum and dark cherry, with cocoa and a lightly balsamic undertone. Substantial ripe tannins support a broad, structured palate, keeping the fruit firmly in a dry, savory register.

The producer
Damilano bottles Cannubi separately to highlight a south- to southeast-facing hillside in the commune of Barolo. Its sandy, calcareous soils distinguish the site within the estate’s range; this is a single-vineyard Nebbiolo, not a broader Barolo blend.
What critics say
Wine Enthusiast’s Kerin O’Keefe awarded the 2010 Cannubi 91 points. She found a rich, structured Barolo centered on concentrated plum and black cherry, with cocoa, leather, clove and balsamic notes supported by substantial, ripe tannins.
