Barolo Riserva 2008 - BORGOGNO 750ml x 1 bottle

This is a powerful wine with a deep garnet color. It is a Barolo for long aging, slowly full-bodied and velvety, with a long-lasting bouquet reminiscent of ether, dry and harmonious.

Classification: Barolo DOCG

Grape variety: Nebbiolo 100%

Tasting: This Barolo embodies the "classic and natural style" that Borgogno continues to uphold. The backbone of its flavor is beautifully structured by the blend of three vineyards with different characteristics. From the glass, a wonderful floral aroma and the fragrance of red fruits elegantly rise, derived from the "Fossati vineyard" with its sandy soil. On the palate, the deep complexity brought by the "Liste vineyard" with its 11-million-year-old ancient strata, and the outstanding elegance characteristic of the "Cannubi vineyard," one of Barolo's most renowned sites, intertwine and harmonize. Having undergone an exceptionally long aging period of six years in large Slavonian oak barrels and an additional year in the bottle, it offers a sophisticated taste that, more than fresh fruitiness, conveys a mature depth and excellent long-term aging potential.

Winemaking method: Alcoholic fermentation is carried out at a controlled temperature (23-25°C) for approximately two weeks. Maceration is followed by three rackings. Matured for a minimum of three years in large Slavonian oak barrels (varying in size and age, but no new barrels are used). Lightly clarified and filtered, then bottled. Bottle aging for a minimum of two years thereafter.

Pairing: Roasted or grilled red meat dishes, game dishes
