Damilano Barbera D'Alba "LABLU" DOC

Damilano is one of the oldest wineries in Barolo. The family business dates back to 1890 when Giuseppe Borgogno started cultivating and producing wine from the grapes from his own vineyards. Giuseppe  improved the general quality of the vinification system and of the wines, turning the winery into a “jewel” of the Langhe area. In 1997 Giuseppe passed the winery on to his grandchildren Paolo, Mario and Guido. Together, they are working to keep and improve the level of the quality of the Damilano wines.

About the Vineyard

At the beginning of the twentieth century the Barbera vine, thanks to its extreme rusticity and its constant production, has replaced a good part of the vineyards affected by phylloxera. The combination of strength and finesse are characteristics that distinguish it and make the Barbera d'Alba a prestigious wine. The composition of the clayey, calcareous, siliceous soil, and the microclimate, creates an intense red color and a pleasant freshness in the wine. The vineyards are located at a height of no more than 650 meters above sea level with southern exposure.

Tasting Notes

Bright purple in color, Lablu has an ample and rich bouquet, with fruity notes of blackberries, cherries and spices, such as cinnamon, vanilla and green pepper.

Food Pairing

Lablu is excellent with red meat, braised and roast meat, game and absolutely ideal with all types of cheeses.
