WINE DESCRIPTION

Borgogno Barbaresco Riserva is a traditional Nebbiolo crafted by the historic Giacomo Borgogno e Figli estate, founded in 1761 in the heart of Piedmont. Known for its dedication to long-term aging, Borgogno cellars their wines for over a decade before release, a practice that preserves the depth and character of each vintage. This Barbaresco Riserva is aged for four years, with one year in large Slovenian oak barrels, a method that respects Nebbiolo’s natural structure while adding subtle earthy and spicy notes. The wine embodies the estate’s rich heritage and classic Piedmontese winemaking.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

With its velvety tannins and mature, nuanced profile, Borgogno Barbaresco Riserva is ideal alongside dishes like truffle risotto, game meats, or aged cheeses.Serve at 16–18°C to enjoy the full expression of its complex flavors, including notes of dried cherries, forest floor, and hints of spice from the oak.
