Barolo Giacomo Borgogno 2021 (750ML)

Giacomo Borgogno draws its 2021 Barolo from historic vineyards in the commune of Barolo, among them Liste, Fossati, Cannubi and San Pietro delle Viole. It is 100% Nebbiolo from south- and southeast-facing slopes of calcareous clay marl at 290 to 370 meters, harvested by hand in the second week of October. After destemming, the must ferments spontaneously in large concrete tanks for about 15 days, then spends another 20 days macerating under a submerged cap as malolactic takes place. More than 24 months in large Slavonian oak follow, with a final stretch in concrete before bottling. Ruby with garnet glints, it opens on fresh red fruit and spice; a clean line of acidity carries the palate, and the tannins are fine-textured and sweet-edged. Look to agnolotti del plin, porcini risotto or a wedge of Castelmagno alongside.
