Borgogno's Barolo Cannubi originates from vineyards located in the namesake Barolo Cru, considered the best in the entire denomination due to its exposure and microclimate, and also the most renowned. It is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, harvested and selected solely by hand. Fermentation takes place, with maceration in contact with the skins, in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 22-29°C for 12 days. After malolactic fermentation, carried out at 22°C for 15 days, the wine ages for 4 years in Slavonian oak barrels and in the bottle for the subsequent 6 months.
Tasting notes:
Borgogno's Barolo Cannubi has a ruby red color that acquires slight garnet hues over time. A refined bouquet of red fruit immediately jumps to the nose, enriched by pleasant spicy hints of licorice and tobacco. On the palate, it is well-balanced, with notes of truffle, ripe red fruit, and spices that lead to a harmonious and persistent finish.
Pairings:
Perfect for accompanying first courses with ragù and red meats, this Barolo is ideal paired with game, braised meats, and aged cheeses.
