Tasting notes
Really lovely cherry fruit on the nose – charmingly youthful. Drinkable tannins, considering the young age. Finishes with tarry savoury notes. Feels like relatively minor Barolo in the grand scheme of things but is certainly recognisable. (RH)

With fruit from Brunate, Liste, Cerequio, Cannubi and Raviole, the 2019 Barolo Lecinquevigne is a little subdued on first nose and would benefit from more time in bottle. This wine offers an appellation-wide taste of Nebbiolo, and the focus, consequently, is on the grape more than any single vineyard. These kinds of blends work very well in a vintage like 2019 that holds its own in terms of balance, intensity and texture. With 70,000 bottles made, this is the most accessible and affordable Barolo in the Damilano portfolio.
