Giacomo Borgogno Barolo Liste 2012

Colour

Ruby with garnet nail.

Bouquet

On the nose it expresses notes of small red fruits, currant, raspberry, next to the clear sensations of dog rose and bramble in bloom. Mediterranean maquis, oriental spices and delicate Himalayan salt grains offer an original and unmistakable picture.

Flavour

The taste is pulpy, lively, with accentuated flavour and elegant tannins that accompany the entire sip. Cohesive and persistent it leaves a balsamic breath.
