Description

Garnet core with a tawny rim. Very fresh fruit nose, with ripe blue plum, figs, and cherry fruit roll aromas backed by a limestone minerality. Very expressive mediumbodied palate, with firm tannins and bright acidity on entry, and very focused blue plum, cherry, caramel, and basalmic flavors mingling with black licorice and earthy, rocky minerals.

Giacomo Borgogno & Figli is considered a dynasty of Barolo. This historic house prides itself as being a harbinger of the traditional style. Brothers Cesare and Giorgio Boschis, grandnephews of the late Giacomo Borgogno are actively manage every aspect of the winery. The vineyards, approximately 50 acres (20.25 ha) thereof, are found in the greatest sites within the Barolo commune - including Liste, Fossati and San Pietro.
Especially notable is Borgogno’s library collection of older-vintage Barolo, one they’ve diligently safeguarded since before WWII. The family continues the practice of cellaring considerable amounts of wine from the very best vintages even today. They periodically re-release, providing the rare opportunity to enjoy perfectly cellared, historic-vintage Barolo. This is truly the best way to understand how traditional Barolo was meant to be experienced.
