Profile & Story
"Lecinquevigne" refers to the five vineyards where the Nebbiolo grape for Barolo is harvested. The Damilano company is one of the oldest wineries in Barolo. The family business dates back to 1890 when Giuseppe Borgogno started cultivating and producing wine from the grapes from his own vineyards. Giuseppe improved the general quality of the vinification system and of the wines, turning the winery into a “jewel” of the Langhe area. In 1997, Giuseppe passed the winery on to his grandchildren, Paolo, Mario, and Guido. Together, they are working to keep and improve the level of the quality of the Damilano wines.
