A profoundly rare and historically important Barolo from one of Piedmont’s most revered traditional estates, the 1940 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Riserva is a remarkable survivor from a turbulent period in Italian history. Produced during the Second World War using the uncompromising methods that defined classic Barolo, this wine has spent more than eight decades evolving in bottle. It now stands as an ethereal, tertiary-driven expression where delicacy, nuance, and history take precedence over fruit and power.
Producer Information
Giacomo Borgogno e Figli is a historic and famed wine estate based in the town of Barolo in the Italian wine region of Piedmont. It is best known for its Riserva Barolo wines, which are some of the most sought-after and expensive wines from the region. Borgogno is also notorious for cellaring its wines for more than a decade prior to release. Alongside the Riserva, Barolo features heavily throughout the wine portfolio. Outside of the Barolo DOCG, Borgogno produces a Langhe Nebbiolo, a Dolcetto d'Alba and a Barbera d'Alba, among others. Borgogno has plots in five of the Barolo cru vineyards, including the monopole Liste. Fruit from Liste, Cannubi and Fossati is made into single-vineyard releases, and the standard and Riserva wines are made from fruit from a combination of the three. The winery is situated in the center of Barolo town, with cellars dug into the surrounding hillside. Borgogno uses traditional winemaking methods including indigenous yeasts, long fermentations and the use of large Slavonian oak barrels.
