Technical profile
Harvest: Due to a snowy winter and a rainy spring time the vegetative cycle started
later than the average. The warm summer and few rainfalls during this season
allowed a good development of the grape, but the maturation has been delayed.
Thanks to high temperatures during September healthy grapes has been picked.
Winemaking: regular fermentation with floating cap maceration for about two
weeks at controlled temperature (at first 22-25 °C and at the end of the fermentation
29-30 °C) followed by maceration and subsequent submerged cap maceration 30
days. Ageing: five years in big Slavonian oak barrels and further refining in bottle
for 24 months.
Serving suggestion
Barolo Borgogno is one of the oldest Barolo produced following a classic and natural
style. These precious bottles could have some sediment settled in the bottom, for
this reason decanting the wine few minutes before the service is recommended.
Perfect pairing
We think it is wrong to recommend a “perfect” food - wine pairing, because everyone
have their personal ideas and tastes. However we can suggest with whom it is perfect
to drink this wine. With everybody
