Tasting Notes: This Timorasso receives some serious treatment; with an extended spontaneous fermentation in concrete, long-aging in stainless steel, and another period resting in bottle, this wine brims with power, complexity, and soft but consistent structure. It has an unusually floral nose, with notes of acacia flowers and hawthorn. The palate is more reminiscent of a classic Timorasso. Honey, wet stone, and peach round out the palate. This powerful wine pairs perfectly with richer dishes.
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.
