Giacomo Borgogno - Barolo Classico 2018
Giacomo Borgogno e Figli is a winery located in Piedmont , northwestern Italy . The company was founded by Bartolomeo Borgogno in 1761. Borgogno is famous for its practice of storing wines for more than a decade before offering them for sale: Cesare Borgogno began this signature policy when he took management in the 1920s. In 2008 the estate was sold to the Farinetti family . The winery is located in the center of the town of Barolo , with cellars dug into the hillside. Borgogno uses traditional winemaking methods, including indigenous yeasts, long fermentations and the use of large oak barrels from Slavonia.
The Barolo Classico 2018 is made from Nebbiolo . Spontaneous fermentation is carried out in cement tanks for 12 days , followed by submerged hat maceration that can last up to 30 days. After the racking began the malolactic fermentation which lasted 15 days. The aging lasted 4 years in oak barrels from Slavonia (4500 liters) followed by 6 months of aging in the bottle before being put on the market.
