Borgogno Dolcetto d'Alba DOC 2022

A$78.00

100% Dolcetto; Alba

A manual harvest of dolcetto, in the cellar the grapes are destemmed and pressed. This is followed by a spontaneous fermentation in steel. This is followed by a soft pressing and ageing into stainless steel for 4 months before 1 month of aging in bottle


Plump, juicy and forward from nose to finish, this Dolcetto shows that wine is still fun. Aromas of black plum, violets and wild herbs lead to a rounded palate with black cherries and fine tannins. A wine of class that wants to show its true self alongside BBQ, pasta or pizza.

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.
