Professional Ratings
Wine Spectator
“Vibrant acidity keeps this red lively from beginning to end, while its dense texture envelops flavors of cherry, raspberry, tar, earth and tobacco. Concentrated without being heavy, again courtesy of the acidity, ending with fine length. Best from 2027 through 2045. 2,500 cases made, 1,250 cases imported.”
Highlights
Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo 2021
Since 1761, Giacomo Borgogno & Figli has been 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 ageing, strictly in large Slavonian oak barrels.
Giacomo Borgogno & Figli uses no chemical fertilisers and no herbicides, and practice only eco-friendly treatments. This will result in being certified as organic for the 2019 harvest. Today, Borgogno continues to be the expression of a territory and of tradition and history, always with a watchful eye on the future.
Critical Acclaim
93 James Suckling
Very primary with hibiscus, orange peel, and sliced strawberry aromas that follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a firm finish. A little in reserve now. From organically grown grapes.
