The bouquet opens with mineral nuances, tar, cocoa beans and cypress wood, softened by notes of rose petals, lilac and delicate balsamic touches. On the palate, it is distinguished by its \u003cstrong\u003esolid and velvety structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by silky and round tannins that lead towards a \u003cstrong\u003every persistent finish\u003c\/strong\u003e. This precise flavour architecture pairs beautifully with red meat dishes, game and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red originates in Piedmont, in the heart of the commune of \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo\u003c\/strong\u003e, from historic and famous vineyards such as Cannubi, Fossati and Liste. The vines are rooted in \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous and clayey soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, capable of bestowing vigour and longevity on the clusters. The south and south-east exposure mitigates the impact of frequent fogs and frosts, ensuring steady phenolic development. Row management involves the \u003cstrong\u003earched Guyot\u003c\/strong\u003e system, an agronomic technique aimed at supporting the plant's physiology and preserving its productive balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification follows classical processes, starting with temperature-controlled fermentation accompanied by manual punching down and pumping over. This is followed by a slow \u003cstrong\u003esubmerged-cap maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e, fundamental for extracting the complex richness of the must. The evolution is completed through long ageing for six years in large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, before concluding with twelve months of rest in the bottle, ensuring a \u003cstrong\u003eperfect flavour balance\u003c\/strong\u003e at the time of tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamous as the “Wine of Kings”, Giacomo Borgogno e Figli’s \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo Riserva\u003c\/strong\u003e was chosen by Cavour to celebrate the Unification of Italy in 1861.
