Tasting Notes

Ruby red with garnet highlights, this Barolo opens with fresh red fruit, raspberry, strawberry, crushed rose, lavender, mint, pepper, licorice, truffle, and herbal spice. The palate is dry, bright, and persistent, with polished yet firm tannins, fresh acidity, charming linear fruit, and a classic old-school Barolo finish.

Food Paring

Pair this classic Barolo with braised beef, roasted red meats, bacon-accented dishes, game, or aged cheeses to complement its firm Nebbiolo structure and savory depth. It also shines with Piedmontese meat mains, rich lasagna, gulasch, yakiniku, brisket, beef ribs, and other slow-cooked dishes that call for a refined, cellar-worthy red.

Professional Reviews

94 James Suckling

"This has a lovely bright nose of raspberries with lavender and a touch of mint. Subtle pepper as well. The palate is approachable with polished tannins, charming brightness and an attractive, linear and bright fruit profile."

92 Wine Enthusiast

"Crushed roses and wild berries bring serious old-school charm, with truffles and herbs playing backup to the main show. This is classic Barolo that knows its roots but isn't stuck in the past: silky tannins carry fresh cherries and raspberries across your palate like they own the place."

92 Natalie Maclean

"Borgogno Barolo (2021) reveals dried-floral and prune complexity with mint and baking spice, firm Nebbiolo tannins and bright acidity—best after 2027+ and serve with braised beef."

91 Falstaff

"Bright ruby colour with an intense garnet hue. Appealing nose with notes of raspberry, strawberries, some saffron, fine herbal savouriness. Polished tannins, spreads out nicely on the palate, good drive, fine flow."
