LLS (Leonardo LoCascio Selections), a division of Winebow Imports, was named the exclusive U.S. importer of the wines of Damilano, a family-owned estate with more than 100 years of winemaking history in Barolo. Damilano joins a portfolio that represents more than 60 wineries throughout Italy.
“We are thrilled to welcome Damilano to the LLS family,” said Ted Campbell, Senior Vice President and General Manager of LLS. “The winery is a jewel in the Barolo region, with truly iconic vineyard holdings and a long family history. It’s an ideal complement to our growing portfolio in Piedmont.”
The winery was first founded in 1890, when Giuseppe Borgogno began to make wine from his own vineyards in La Morra, a commune of Barolo. His son in law, Giacomo Damilano, took over in 1935, growing the business and making substantial quality improvements in both the vineyards and the winery. A new facility was constructed in 1965.
