Damilano 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.
Monferrato is noted as the place where Barbera was born. The province of Asti with the relative

around 700 mm. Barbera grows well in the clayey, deep and not very fertile soils.
