Giacomo Borgogno & Figli 2020 – Barolo

(organic) The wine has a pale ruby color. The nose is fragrant, spicy and gourmand: it offers pronounced aromas of grated nutmeg, liquorice, cardamom, combined with a delicate and refreshing herbaceous hints (wild mint, rose leaf, fresh tea leaf, fresh tobacco) , notes of flowers (fresh rose, lilac), as well as a subtle minerality in the background (clayey touches, even slightly saline in the background). We also find concentration and depth, all in freshness, in aromas of ripe fruit (red cherry, raspberry, wild plum, blackberry and blueberry). On the palate, the wine offers the enveloping texture and juiciness of the fruit, associated with a fine but firm tannic structure and a salivating acidity. It expresses notes of bigarreau cherry, raspberry, cranberries, crunchy strawberry and blackcurrant, associated with herbaceous touches (mint, tobacco, rose leaf), floral (rose, lilac), as well as a fine spiciness (liquorice, nutmeg, cardamom) and minerality (salinity, which appears at the end of the mouth). The finish is persistent, tangy, slightly bitter, with juicy notes of fresh fruit and a pleasant herbaceous touch.
