Arneis always strikes me as a softer wine—this one make me feel like I’m tucked into clean linens after eating a peach cobbler. The air is warm but not hot, it’s an early summer breeze in a glass, soothing without being basic. Is this a citric finish? Yeah. Is there an orange grove one field over and a honeysuckle trellising its way up the walls, right outside your crisp linen sheets? I think so. This is one of those wines that really grows and tells you more the more you lie still and listen. — 7 months ago
Interesting find at Trader Joe’s…about $40 and tastes more like a Barbaresco to me even though it’s marked as a Barolo. That said, love this wine! It’s a fun dance between fresh and dried fruit, slight tannins and some emerging tobacco. Highly recommend! — 2 months ago
Good color, nose, and flavor. A little thin with braised short ribs. Very pleasant young server, Rafael, from Canary Islands. — 10 months ago
Everything thats great about Nebbiolo, perfect weight and balance, probably in the 4th inning of its arc, would love to try it again in 5 and 10 yrs. — 3 months ago
If I could only drink Barolo, Nebbiolo & Dolcetto for the rest of my life I think I’d be okay with it. — 4 months ago
My third wine from Damilano. Very good. With red (raspberry mostly) and dark fruit (blackberry). Also: vanilla, licorice (maybe) and leather. — a year ago

Good by itself or with food, and a great sipping wine.
