Borgogno "No Name" (Declassified Barolo) (2020)
750mL / Langhe / Italy
The Borgogno Barolo pours a captivating garnet hue, hinting at its age and complexity. On the nose, it unfurls with enticing aromas of dried cherry and plum, intertwined with notes of leather, tobacco, and autumn leaves. Underneath this heady bouquet, subtle hints of licorice, truffle, and rose petal add further intrigue.
The palate echoes the nose with concentrated flavors of black cherry and cranberry, enveloped in firm yet velvety tannins. The acidity is beautifully integrated, providing lift and structure. Notes of cedar, tobacco, and earthiness linger on the long, satisfying finish.
