DAMILANO

The origins of the Damilano farming company date back to over a century ago, when Giuseppe Borgogno, the great-grandfather of the current owners, started to grow and make wine from his own grapes. This tradition was kept up by Giacomo Damilano, the founder’s son-in-law, together with his childrenuntil it passed on to his four grandchildren: Guido, Margherita, Paolo and Mario, who very attentively manage their forefathers’ land today. The wines produced are renowned for their upright style and the estate is widely appreciated thanks to the strictness and passion that accompany all of the company’s activities.
