Borgogno "Fossati" Barolo DOCG 2019

A$326.00

100% Nebbiolo; South/Southeast facing vineyards in the Barolo M.G.A. “Fossati”

Organic grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in concrete, followed by 4 years in Slavonian oak casks (4500L) with a further refining in bottle for 6 months.


Crushed roses and wild berries bring serious old-school charm, with truffles and herbs playing backup to the main show. This is classic Barolo that knows its roots but isn't stuck in the past: silky tannins carry fresh cherries and raspberries across your palate like they own the place.

In continuous operation since 1761, Borgogno is 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 ageing, strictly in large Slavonian oak barrels.

Borgogno cultivates their vineyards in Barolo, Madonna di Como and in the Colli Tortonesi. With absolute respect for the earth, using no chemical fertilisers and no herbicides, and practicing only eco-friendly treatments. Harvests have achieved organic certification since 2019. Fermentation practices have remained the same for several decades, with techniques perfected year to year to enable the production of real, living, clean wines. While these differ slightly annually, respecting the characteristics of each vintage, there is always the unmistakable Borgogno imprint achieved thanks to long ageing in large oak barrels with woods of different origins, the majority being of Slavonian origin.
