The wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the region's renowned vineyards, which are characterized by their steep slopes and mineral-rich soils. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including long maceration and aging in large oak barrels, resulting in a wine with complex aromas of red fruit, spices, and earthy notes. Borgogno Barolo is known for its full-bodied and structured style, with firm tannins and a long finish, making it a perfect pairing for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.
