1982 Borgogno Barolo Riserva, Piedmont, Italy

ABOUT THIS WINE

Fermentation practices have remained the same for several decades, with long fermentations. Over the years, techniques have been perfected to enable the production of real, living, clean wines which differ from year to year thanks to the fact that they respect the characteristics of the vintage, always with the unmistakable Borgogno imprint achieved thanks to long aging in large oak barrels with woods of different origins, according to our recipe, the majority being of Slavonian origin.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

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 aging, strictly in large Slavonian oak barrels. They cultivate their vineyards in Barolo, Madonna di Como and in the Colli Tortonesi. With absolute respect for the earth, Borgogno does not use any chemical fertilisers or herbicides, and practice only eco-friendly treatments. Borgogno is certified organic from the 2019 vintage forward. Today, Borgogno continues to be the expression of a territory and of tradition and history, always with a watchful eye on the future.
