Enticing aromas and flavors of raspberry, cherry, rose, iron, licorice and wild herbs highlight this broad, heady red. This exudes fruit, defined by vibrant acidity and supported by refined, pliable tannins. Best from 2028 through 2043.

92pts Wine Enthusiast

Crushed roses and wild berries bring serious old-school charm, with truffles and herbs playing backup to the main show. This is classic Barolo that knows its roots but isn't stuck in the past: silky tannins carry fresh cherries and raspberries across your palate like they own the place. 

Winemaker Notes

The wine is ruby red in color. It has a spicy nose reminiscent of pepper and licorice. Dry taste and persistent tannins.

Delicious with main courses of meat, braised meat, bacon and aged cheeses.

About the Vineyard

Giacomo Borgogno & Figli is considered a dynasty of Barolo. This historic house prides itself as being a harbinger of the traditional style. The estate was founded in 1761, although today the family cites 1848 as the date of official establishment, coinciding with a document dated 1848 that attests to Borgogno’s first wine sale. The vineyards, approximately 50 acres (20.25 ha) thereof, are found in the greatest sites within the Barolo commune including Liste, San Pietro delle Viole and Rue.
