Description
BORGOGNO Giacomo Barolo 2018
Since 1761, the most historical winery 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. We cultivate our vineyards in Barolo, Madonna di Como and in the Colli Tortonesi. With absolute respect for the earth, we use no chemical fertilisers and no herbicides, and practice only eco-friendly treatments. This will result in our being certified as organic for the 2019 harvest. Today, Borgogno continues to be the expression of a territory and of tradition and history, always with a watchful eye on the future.
Tasting Notes :
Ruby red color with garnet highlights. Fresh red fruits and spicy hints on the nose. Pleasant acidity that brings freshness. Delicate and sweet tannin.
Perfect Pairing :
Barolo goes well with important dishes, such as traditional Piedmontese meat main courses. Ranging from world traditions, there is gulasch in Eastern Europe. Going to Japan instead gyoza (fried dumplings stuffed with spring onion, marinated pork and spices), grilled meat (yakiniku) such as beef; but also fish, such as Black Cod (Alaskan fish marinated with sugar, sake, miso). Moving to The United States of America, beef (angus, wagyu, bue nostral, longhorn) in different cuts such as brisket and beef ribs. One recipe is, for example, onion stout beef. But if you have the pleasure, even a simple “special” toast is perfect!
