Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Riserva

From the personally owned old-vine holdings of one of the oldest winemaking houses in Piedmont. In fact, the Barolo of Borgogno was the wine chosen for the official celebration lunch of Italy's unity in 1861. Nebbiolo is the "king of wines" for a reason — it can age with the best grapes, especially in great vintages like 1964. Dating from 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 ageing, strictly in large Slavonian oak barrels. Vineyards are culitvatead in Barolo, Madonna di Como and in the Colli Tortonesi. No chemical fertilisers or herbicides are used, and the winery practices only eco-friendly treatments and was certified organic in time for the 2019 harvest.
