The story behind Damilano
Barolo is Nebbiolo grown in the Langhe hills of Piedmont, and it earns its reputation the slow way. The wines are pale in color but firm in tannin and high in acid, with dried rose, tar, red cherry and orange peel that build as the bottle breathes. Young Barolo can feel tight, so many of us open it hours ahead or pour it beside a rich braise.
We keep Damilano in the Barolo section at our Commack store, including the Damilano Barolo and the Damilano Arneis, the white grape of the same region. Stock is small, so call ahead on the Barolo.

The Damilano Arneis is 23.99 a bottle, an easy white to open while dinner finishes. The Damilano Barolo is 89.98, a serious Piedmont red for a long evening. We stock only a bottle or two at a time, so call the Commack store at (631) 343-7200 before you drive over for the Barolo.
Crisp and modest, it works with seafood without asking for a special night.
