Borgogno Barolo Riserva 2009

Founded in 1761, Borgogno is the oldest continuously operating winery in Barolo. Cesare Borgogno expanded the winery’s production in the 1920s, and commercial success followed as he became one of the first winemakers from Piedmont to ship wines abroad.

Funky aromas of game, scorched earth, and cured meat are joined by whiffs of wild berry and leather. The palate shows dried cherry, anise, and grilled sage alongside firm, fine-grained tannins.
