Vineyards Tenuta Canubio Barolo Giacomo Damilano 1956
This red wine from 1956 is produced by Dott. Giacomo Damilano and comes from the vineyard Vigneti Tenuta Canubio. The wine is produced in Barolo, which is one of the most prestigious wine areas in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy.
Piedmont, which literally means "at the foot of the mountain," is surrounded by the Alps and is known for its small, family-run wineries with an enormous focus on terroir. The landscape is characterized by dramatic, steep hills, especially in the Langhe sub-area southwest of Alba, where Barolo is located. These hills are often shrouded in thick morning fog in the autumn, which protects the grapes during their ripening. However, the growing season for the 1956 vintage was overall characterized by rain and lack of ripeness in the area.
The wine is made from Nebbiolo, which is a top Italian grape. This grape is the foundation of wine production in Barolo and Barbaresco, and it is inseparably linked to the Piedmont region, which is world-renowned for producing great, classic red wines.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Piedmont
Piedmont (which literally means "at the foot of the mountain") is located in northwestern Italy, surrounded by the Alps. It is considered one of the world's absolute most prestigious wine regions. The area is known for small, passionate, family-run wineries and a huge focus on terroir (how the soil and microclimate affect the wine).
Classic characteristics of Piedmont:
The royal wines: This is where the world-famous, complex and expensive red wines Barolo and Barbaresco come from (both made from 100% Nebbiolo).
Everyday heroes: In addition to Nebbiolo, the region is famous for the grapes Barbera (juicy, acidic and incredibly popular) and Dolcetto (dark, soft and fruity).
The white and sweet: Piedmont also makes the crisp white wine Gavi and the famous, lightly sparkling dessert bubbles Moscato d'Asti.
The landscape: Dramatic, steep hills – especially in the Langhe sub-area. The hills are often shrouded in thick morning mist in autumn, which protects the grapes and allows for a long, perfect ripening.
Gastronomy: An absolute mecca for food lovers. The area is world famous for the exclusive white truffles from Alba, hazelnuts and rich, simmered dishes that scream with a glass of local red wine.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
