Damilano Lecinquevigne Barolo 2020 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 96/100

Damilano's Lecinquevigne Barolo from Piedmont is a supple, full-bodied red wine offering notes of wild strawberry, morello cherry, rose petal and menthol. This dry wine displays polished tannins and brilliant acidity that will continue to develop over the next nineteen years. Serve it slightly below room temperature with roasted duck breast as the wine's aromatic harmony complements the rich meat, or pair it with mushroom and leek risotto where the wine's earthy complexity enhances the savory flavors. Winemaker Paolo Damilano crafts this elegant Barolo from the Lecinquevigne vineyard, where calcareous soils and ideal exposition create wines of remarkable structure and concentrated intensity with detailed accents of stone and licorice. The Damilano family has been producing exceptional Barolo since 1890, and this wine represents their commitment to crafting Nebbiolo that showcases both immediate approachability and extraordinary aging potential. This fragrant, vibrant wine is ideal for both Barolo newcomers and aficionados alike and will drink beautifully through 2045.

Barolo food pairings: roast duck, turkey tournedos, grilled game sausages, mushroom and leek risotto.
