1999 Giacomo Borgogno Barolo Riserva DOCG

Harvest: regular winter with some snowfalls from January to March that helped to stock up water. Settled weather conditions during the spring with some rainfalls and later flowering than the average. Very hot temperatures during a sunny June interrupted by some rainfalls. In August there was an irregular weather: overcast sky and lower temperatures than the average climatic course. Fortunately the weather in September was really good and that helped the grape to mature perfectly with high quality.

Winemaking: regular fermentation and submerged cap maceration; racking off during the first ten days of November. Ageing: six months in stainless steel tanks, two years in concrete vats and two more years in big Slavonian oak barrels. Bottling: June 2004
