Damilano Barolo Lecinquevigne review: What's its alcohol content?
Damilano Barolo Lecinquevigne wine’s alcohol content is 14%.
In case you wonder about alcohol content or more precisely Alcohol By Volume, i.e. ABV, measure the alcoholic strength of a drink.
There is a direct relationship between the sugar left in the wine after the alcoholic fermentation has taken place, i.e. Residual Sugar or RS, and ABV.
During alcoholic fermentation, the yeast transforms the sugar in the grape juice into alcohol.
Grapes with high residual sugar will therefore produce dry wine with a high ABV.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture [1] a 5-ounce glass will contain about 120 to 130 calories.
