Damilano Zero Sette Barbera d‘Asti DOCG 2022

Damilano is one of the oldest wineries in Barolo. The family business dates back to 1890 when Giuseppe 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.
