Borgogno 'Era Ora' Langhe Riesling DOC 2021

A$97.00

100% Riesling Renano; East-South facing vineyards, 500 mASL in Alba

Mainly steel fermented Riesling with 20% of the production fermented in 1000L oak barrels, 6 months on the lees. 6 months of ageing in steel tanks and 2 months in the bottle.

Classic Riesling aromas of apricot, white flowers, crushed stone and petrol gently rise from the glass. The wine's texture is a balance between viscosity and acidity giving nuance and depth to the wine as green apple and chalky minerality dominate the flavor profile. Drink now–2040.

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.
