Barolo Borgogno 2022

The Barolo Borgogno is a wine that embodies the most classic tradition of the type. It is indeed a red that combines Nebbiolo grapes grown in different crus, among which Liste, Cannubi, and Fossati stand out, to give an overview of the territory, telling us about the typical power of true Barolo. A label that is therefore strongly identity-driven, which, thanks to a long aging process, presents itself with an impactful personality, both on the nose and in the mouth. To be reserved for the most formal occasions, those in which the wine served at the table must have its own importance. 

This Barolo is made by the Borgogno winery starting from pure Nebbiolo grapes, grown in vineyards exposed to the south and southeast. The vineyards are characterized by a soil mainly composed of calcareous-clay marl, and the vines grow using the guyot system. The manual harvest takes place between the end of September and the beginning of October, and the must obtained from the soft pressing of the grapes ferments spontaneously, without the addition of yeasts, in cement tanks for 12 days, with temperatures ranging from 22 degrees to reach up to 29 degrees. After the racking, malolactic fermentation begins. Finally, the wine is transferred without filtration into 4500-liter Slavonian oak barrels, where it remains to age for 4 years. It then undergoes an additional maturation of 6 months directly in the bottle.

The Borgogno Barolo presents itself to the eye with a color that tends towards garnet red. Rich and layered on the nose, which announces earthy touches and floral hints of classic violet, then enriched with fruity notes and spicy aromas. It enters the palate with a broad and enveloping sip, equipped with an excellent structure and a tannic sip, which contributes to characterizing the wine as muscular. A bottle of excellent craftsmanship, with which the winery, from harvest to harvest, manages to assert itself in the main Italian and international sector guides.
