2016 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Liste

Borgogno is one of the very first and probably the oldest wineries in Piemonte. The Italian winery strongly believes in the classic and traditional philosophy which is its strength; for years the observance of these traditions has been passed on to the next generations. Borgogno owns 13 hectares of vineyards of which 9 are planted with the Nebbiolo grape. The wines are all vinified in a traditional way to produce unique and structured wines. The wines are produced sustainably.

Borgogno has several Cru vineyards at its disposal; Liste, Cannubi and Fossati. These vineyards are spread throughout the area and provide the best and typical Barolo styles. The Liste matures for 4 years in Slovenian oak barrels (6000 liters) after which the wine matures for another 8 months in the bottle. The Baralo Liste has a deep dark red color with violet hues in the glass. In the nose beautiful tones of roses, dried cherries and red berries that evolve into herbs and tobacco. In the mouth an explosion of flowers and red fruit! This is a beautiful full wine with a good balance between tannins and acids and as a top Barolo should be, but anyway this is the Grandcru of Borgogno. Tip: Try the Trio of the Grandcru Barolos (Cannubi, Liste and Fossati) in a beautiful tasting vertically. Great to see what terroir can do.
