Damilano Barolo Liste 2019

Damilano Barolo Liste 2019 is a single-vineyard Barolo that captures the rigorous elegance of Nebbiolo from one of the appellation’s most historic crus. Sourced exclusively from the Liste vineyard near the village of Barolo, this wine balances depth, structure and refinement in a way that rewards both immediate enjoyment and long-term cellaring. It’s a compelling choice for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a Barolo with clear terroir identity and classic character.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Damilano Barolo Liste 2019 shows a deep ruby red core with garnet reflections emerging at the rim, a sign of both youth and the slow evolution typical of Nebbiolo. The nose is complex and layered, offering notes of wild red berries, black cherry and dried rose petals, interwoven with aromas of licorice, tobacco leaf, cocoa, leather and a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, the wine is dry, full-bodied and firmly structured, with finely grained tannins that feel powerful yet polished and gradually turn velvety as the wine opens. Flavors of ripe red currant, sour cherry and plum are wrapped in savory tones of spice, dark chocolate, and a hint of underbrush. The finish is long, persistent and elegantly tapered, with lingering notes of licorice and cocoa. While already approachable with proper aeration, this Barolo has excellent aging potential and should evolve beautifully over the next 10–18 years, gaining further complexity, softness and tertiary nuances.

Production
The Liste vineyard is a renowned Barolo cru with calcareous clay and marl soils that give Nebbiolo both structure and aromatic finesse, situated on well-exposed slopes in the heart of Piemonte. Grapes are carefully harvested by hand to ensure only the healthiest, optimally ripe clusters are selected, preserving the precision of this single-vineyard expression. In the cellar, traditional vinification is employed, with an extended maceration to extract color, tannin and aromatic depth, followed by long maturation in oak (typically large Slavonian or a mix of large casks and barrels) to refine the tannins without overwhelming the wine’s natural character. The result is a Barolo that reflects its terroir with clarity—structured, nuanced and built to age.

Food & Serving
Damilano Barolo Liste 2019 pairs superbly with rich, savory dishes such as braised short ribs, osso buco, roasted lamb, game birds, truffle risotto, and aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino. It also shines alongside classic Piemontese cuisine—tajarin with ragù, brasato al Barolo, or wild mushroom dishes. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) for optimal expression. Decant for 1–2 hours in its youth to soften the tannins and unlock the full aromatic spectrum; older bottles will need a gentler, shorter decant mainly to remove any sediment.
