GRAPES VARITETIES: Nebbiolo
TASTING NOTES: The wine showed a shockingly pronounced and clear nose of white truffle, fresh raspberries, rose petal, porcini, forest floor, earth, and leather, with a palate that was delicious, complex, and remarkably youthful for its age.

Borgogno has always sought to be a reflection of the essence of Barolo wines since its origins: over 260 years ago. One of the oldest cellars in all of Barolo, Borgogno wines have enjoyed centuries of acclaim, its Barolo selected as the wine of choice at the official dinner celebration of the Italian Unification in 1861 and again in 1886 honoring the official visit of Nicola II Romanov, Czar of Russia. With absolute respect for the earth, they use no chemical fertilisers and no herbicides, and practice only eco-friendly treatments that results in their being certified as organic for the 2019 harvest.
