Damilano’s 1999 Barolo Riserva is Nebbiolo with published notes of rose, leather and tobacco. The original review describes an initially soft impression supported by clear acidity and tannin, finishing firmer and chewy. These are historical tasting observations, not a guarantee that the bottle now retains the same fruit or structure.

The producer
Damilano’s roots in Barolo date to 1890, and its range includes both broader bottlings and named vineyards. This historical Barolo Riserva should be treated as its own wine, without borrowing vineyard or winemaking details from the producer’s later Cannubi 1752 Riserva.
