Very soft and fruity, with plum and chocolate character. Medium- to full-bodied. Some mushroom and mahogany character as well on the soft finish. Decadent style.

Notes

Giacomo Borgogno & Figli is one of Barolo’s most historic producers, with a lineage stretching back to the 18th century and a steadfast commitment to the region’s traditional winemaking methods. The “Riserva Classico” bottling reflects the estate’s long-standing philosophy of extended maceration, aging in large Slavonian oak casks, and lengthy cellar maturation before release, practices that emphasize structure and longevity over immediate accessibility. Drawn from Nebbiolo grown on the calcareous marl soils surrounding the commune of Barolo, the wine captures the savory complexity, floral perfume, and firmly structured character that define classically styled Barolo.
