Since 1761, Borgogno is one of the most historical wineries in Barolo. The underground cellars continue to represent a rare historical memory of the Langa to this day, and the wines are made according to tradition: long spontaneous fermentations in concrete tanks without the use of selected yeasts, and long periods of aging, strictly in large Slavonian oak barrels. Borgogno cultivates vineyards in Barolo, Madonna di Como and in the Colli Tortonesi. With absolute respect for the earth, they use no chemical fertilizers and no herbicides and practice only eco-friendly treatments. Today, Borgogno continues to be the expression of a territory and of tradition and history, always with a watchful eye on the future.
The Giacomo Borgogno Barolo Riserva 1988, from Piedmont, is a distinguished example of traditional Nebbiolo winemaking, crafted by one of Barolo’s oldest houses. This vintage, with its extensive aging in Slavonian oak, presents a refined maturity characterized by notes of dried cherry, rose, and earthy undertones complemented by hints of leather and truffle. The wine showcases a fine structure with balanced tannins and fresh acidity, making it a perfect match for rich dishes like tajarin or brasato. This wine's elegance and complexity highlight its Old World style, suitable for those who appreciate classic, age-worthy reds.
