The Damilano 2016 Barolo Raviole is a lithe and beautiful wine with good energy and inner shine. The fruit is lively and bright with a very vertical or lifted delivery, from the comune of Grinzane Cavour, which offers a different soil profile of mostly calcareous clay. Like a string of pearls, the wine produces a chain of interlocked aromas with forest berry, licorice, campfire embers and crushed limestone. The tannins are elegant and polished. This is the second vintage I have tasted of this wine, and the results are impressive. Some 6,500 bottles were released in May 2020.
A firm, chewy red with lots of chocolate, sweet-strawberry and walnut aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied, juicy and delicious. Shows wonderful potential.
