Damilano Barolo Cannubi Riserva 1752 2015
$300
This is mellowing, with red fruit flavors of cherry and strawberry shaded by eucalyptus, tobacco and green tea. Almost feels ready to enjoy at the outset, then the dense tannins kick in on the finish. Everything comes together nicely in the end. Best from 2024 through 2040. 200 cases imported.

Grape
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo originated in Piedmont in Italy, where it remains the region's most important red grape. Its name comes from the Italian word nebbia, which means fog, a feature of the hills where the grape traditionally grows. Nebbiolo is thick-skinned, early-budding and late-ripening; it needs long periods of sunshine to ripen fully and is often planted on south- or southwest-facing hillsides for maximum exposure. The best examples come from calcareous marl vineyards, with some planted in sandy soils.
