Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Borgogno Barolo Fossati 2018

This cru originated around 6 million years ago through sedimentation from the Padano sea, after which the African earth plates collided with those of the Italian peninsula. Being a relatively young plot, it has a good percentage of sand in its composition that ensures that the wines are characterized by explosive floral and red fruit notes. It can be found along the secondary road that runs from Barolo to La Morra. This vineyard measures around 3.20 hectares with a south-eastern exposure that varies from 290 to 50 meters above sea level.

Barolo goes well with important dishes, such as traditional Piedmontese meat main courses. Ranging from world traditions, there is gulasch in Eastern Europe. Going to Japan instead gyoza (fried dumplings stuffed with spring onion, marinated pork and spices). Moving to The United States of America, beef (angus, wagyu, bue nostral, longhorn) in the brisket cut. But if you have the pleasure, even a simple “special” toast is perfect!

Tart cherry and wild strawberry aromas lift from the glass on the first pass. As the wine opens, violets, savory spice and clove begin to show. Each sniff delivers a new aroma. The palate is mouthfilling yet pops with red currant and sour wild berry flavors that give way to a crushed stone minerality framed by fine tannins.
