The 2008 Barolo Cannubi emerges from the glass with freshly cut roses, sweet raspberries and spices, all supported by French oak. It is a very pretty, attractive wine with plenty of vineyard character and personality. The Cannubi is also the most feminine of the 2008s I tasted from Damilano. A silky, refined finish rounds things out in style.

A big step up in quality… full body, with fine tannins and a delicious finish. Very fine indeed. Chewy.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 30/04/2012 The 2008 Barolo Cannubi emerges from the glass with freshly cut roses, sweet raspberries and spices, all supported by French oak. It is a very pretty, attractive wine with plenty of vineyard character and personality. The Cannubi is also the most feminine of the 2008s I tasted from Damilano. A silky, refined finish rounds things out in style. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026. These 2008s from Damilano required considerable aeration to show the full breadth of their potential. At times, the wines still seem excessively oaked. ()

Deep, dark red. Sweet oak, a resiny, cedary balsamic quality and attractive floral lift on the nose. Sweet but restrained, offering an enticing fine-grained texture and a continuing floral character. Not the last word in lift but the rising finish shows smooth tannins and noteworthy length.
