Borgogno Barolo 2016
The wine is ruby red in color. It has a spicy nose reminiscent of pepper and licorice. Dry taste and persistent tannins.
Borgogno Barolo comes from our best Crus that give us the true traditional Barolo: CANNUBI, LISTE and FOSSATI, three single vineyards located in the district of Barolo.
It ages at least four years in large oak barrels, which enhance the balance between elegance and power of the classic Barolo from Barolo.
A classic wine: it expresses its tradition through the blending of five different crus representing the true and onetime Barolo.
