2023 Giacomo Borgogno Barbera d'Alba

From the historic Giacomo Borgogno cellar, the 2023 Barbera d'Alba is a vibrant and accessible expression of the grape, faithful to the estate's classic style. The nose is persistent and fragrant, bursting with fresh notes of red and black fruit, specifically black cherry, raspberry, and plum. It is accented by floral nuances of violet and a subtle spice of anise and black pepper. On the palate, it’s juicy and lively, with a medium-to-full body guided by Barbera's natural, vibrant acidity that lends energy and freshness. The fine, velvety tannins are well-integrated. The finish is clean, savory, and persistent, with a pleasant return of fruit and a mineral note.
