The Barolo Cannubi represents the satisfaction of renewing a masterpiece of taste, intelligence and flavor, a reward following a long and careful work, keeping up with the seasons, spying the first grapes sprouting or enjoying the view of ripe bunches and the heady scent that invades the Wineries during harvest. Complex, intense and persistent, with fruity and spicy notes; even aged, it maintains a strong link to the original fruit.
Piedmont delivers the some of the most distinctive, high-quality, ageable wine of Italy. The most prestigious are the DOCG districts Barolo and Barbaresco, producing Nebbiolo-based wine of the same name.
Most Italian wine experts hail the single-vineyard Barolo Cannubi DOCG as the ultimate definition of a world-class Barolo. While only 10 miles away from its neighboring wine region, Barbaresco, Barolo lacks the maritime influence of the Tanaro River, resulting in wines that are more full-bodied and often require more aging. Regional regulations require that all standard wines be aged for three years and riservas for five years.
The Borgogno family has been producing wines from Piemonte for over 100 years. Located in the heart of Barolo Valley, the unique soil profile and micro-climate offer signature characteristics that make exceptional wines. These are traditional Piemonte wines made with respect for the past while embracing modern winemaking.
