Description

1981 Barbaresco – Damilano (Piedmont, Italy)

A fully mature, classical Barbaresco that favours perfume and finesse over power. Brick-garnet with a broad tawny rim, it opens on dried cherry and cranberry, rose petal and violet, with cedar, leather and sweet tobacco, plus hints of orange peel, tea leaf and a gentle tar/balsamic lift. Mid-weight and savoury on the palate: lively, old-world acidity carries red-cherry fruit, dried herbs and subtle underbrush; tannins are fine and resolved, the finish tapering with cherry skin, cedar spice and dried flowers.

Producer note: The Damilano family is among the Langhe’s historic names, known for classically raised Nebbiolo and prime Barolo/Barbaresco sites—emphasising elegance, aromatic lift and graceful ageing.

Serve: 16–18 °C. Stand upright 12–24 hours; very gentle decant for sediment just before pouring.
Food pairing: Roast chicken with herbs, tajarin with butter and sage, porcini risotto, aged pecorino.
