Tasting Notes: The Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Dolcetto d'Alba is an iconic example of Dolcetto. Notes of plums and violets and ripe berries on the palate. Soft tannins lead into a delicate finish.
Estate History: Since 1761, Borgogno is 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. The vineyards are located in Barolo, Madonna di Como and in the Colli Tortonesi without the use of chemical fertilizers or herbicides, and practice only eco-friendly treatments. Organic certification will come with the 2019 harvest.
