Giacomo Borgogno Barolo Riserva 2001
The Winery
Giacomo Borgogno
Since 1761, Borgogno is one of the most historical wineries 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 aging, strictly in large Slavonian oak barrels. Borgogno cultivates vineyards in Barolo, Madonna di Como and in the Colli Tortonesi. With absolute respect for the earth, they use no chemical fertilizers and no herbicides and practice only eco-friendly treatments. Today, Borgogno continues to be the expression of a territory and of tradition and history, always with a watchful eye on the future.
Summary
The Giacomo Borgogno Barolo Riserva 2001 hails from one of Barolo's oldest wineries, renowned for its traditional winemaking methods. This Nebbiolo is crafted from estate-grown grapes, fermented with native yeasts, and undergoes extensive maceration followed by years of aging in large Slavonian barrels. The 2001 vintage is celebrated for its robust structure and complexity. Tasting notes reveal layers of dark fruit intermixed with herbal and earthy elements, complemented by hints of licorice and tar. Its firm, dusty tannins and savory finish make it an excellent pairing for rich foods, embodying the traditional elegance and rustic charm characteristic of Barolo. This wine is noted for its striking personality and depth.
