2005 Giacomo Borgogno Barolo Riserva DOCG Piedmont, Italy

Winery Notes:

Harvest: temperate winter followed by a cool spring with few precipitations.

The summer was characterized by hot temperatures followed by cooler weather

condition in August. Temperature ranges during the months of September and

October helped the accumulation of sugars and aromatic substances in the grape.

Winemaking: regular fermentation for 15 days and submerged cap maceration for

30 days; racking off at the middle of November. Aging: six years in Slavonia oak

barrels with a further refining in bottle for 6 months.

Serving suggestion

Barolo Borgogno is one of the oldest Barolo produced following a classic and natural

style. These precious bottles could have some sediment settled in the bottom, for

this reason decanting the wine few minutes before the service is recommended.

Perfect pairing

We think it is wrong to recommend a “perfect” food - wine pairing, because everyone

have their personal ideas and tastes. However we can suggest with whom it is perfect

to drink this wine. With everybody!
