Borgogno
We do not know what inspired Borgogno's marketing manager to come up with such an unusual name. "No Name", in fact, is the commercial name that appears on the iconic label of this Langhe Nebbiolo DOC. A clean, white label in the style of the historic Piedmontese winery, with the name (or rather the NO NAME) written in big letters right in the middle. And a small "protest label" written in the bottom corner. Protest or not, this Nebbiolo DOC from Borgogno is certainly not a wine of little interest. Harvested by hand, spontaneously fermented in cement tanks, lightly pressed and matured for three years in large oak barrels. Nothing is left to chance. In fact, there are no protests about quality! Or rather, it is not discussed. Ruby red colour with violet reflections. The nose is persistent, ethereal, with hints of flowers such as roses and violets and fresh fruit. Then spices. In the mouth it is dry, harmonious, velvety, full-bodied, austere and generous. As always in these cases, the perfect pairing calls for the great classics of Piedmontese cuisine, such as game and braised meats. After all, this is a wine with a great structure. Without protest!
Any time is the right time to drink Barolo. And if the people at Borgogno say so, they are certainly to be believed. After all, this is the most historic cellar in Barolo, dating back to 1761. Even today, the underground cellars represent a rare historical memory of the Langa, where the wines are produced according to tradition, with long spontaneous fermentation without the use of selected yeasts in cement tanks, and above all with long aging strictly in large Slavonian oak barrels. Borgogno cultivates its vineyards in Barolo, Madonna di Como, and in the Colli Tortonesi. With full respect for the land. No chemical fertilisers or herbicides. Only sustainable treatments and, from 2019, certified organic. Today, Borgogno continues to be an expression of a territory, tradition and history. Always, however, with an eye to the future.
