On the nose, it is distinguished by clear scents of violet and small fresh red fruits, enriched by balsamic notes of mint and eucalyptus and a well-defined spicy texture. On the palate, it is enveloping and soft, supported by well-balanced acidity and \u003cstrong\u003esilky tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that underline its structural elegance. Perfect when paired with structured dishes such as Piedmontese boiled meats, game, and beef, this Barolo shows an extraordinary propensity for \u003cstrong\u003elong ageing over time\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the famous \u003cstrong\u003eCannubi vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e, located in the municipality of Barolo. The vineyards, cultivated using the Guyot system, enjoy a southern exposure at an altitude between 290 and 315 metres. The soil, of marine origin, is composed of medium-textured \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-clay marls\u003c\/strong\u003e, with sandy veins and the presence of silt. This particular soil composition gives the wine a marked aromatic profile, ensuring an impeccable balance between savouriness, power, and a \u003cstrong\u003efine tannic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvesting is manual and takes place in the autumn. Following de-stemming and crushing, alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled concrete tanks. The vinification process involves a long \u003cstrong\u003esubmerged cap maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e, with periodic pumping over and punching down. Part of the grapes is vinified using the whole-cluster method to enhance freshness through intracellular fermentation. After malolactic fermentation, the wine ages slowly in \u003cstrong\u003elarge Slavonian oak casks\u003c\/strong\u003e, before finishing the process with a period of \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e until full expressive maturity is reached.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1761, the Giacomo Borgogno e Figli winery enhances the vocation of the \u003cstrong\u003eCannubi cru\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose calcareous-clay marls originate from the ancient Padan sea of twelve million years ago.
