A stellar, sumptuous nebbiolo that steadily unfolds layers of perfume, flavour and texture. A heady scent of rose petals, redcurrants and dark cherries is lifted by notes of cinnamon and Moroccan spice. Medium to fullish in weight and supported by a spine of drying tannins that become more assertive and gravelly with aeration, it moves with richness and smoothness towards a savoury finish of exceptional length and refreshing acidity. If you've never understood what proper nebbiolo can deliver and don't wish to pay the earth, it's a fine place to start.

Winery
Borgogno
Established by Bartolomeo Borgogno in 1761 and acquired by the Farinetti family in 2008, Borgogno is an organically farmed estate comprising 42.6 ha of vineyards, 60% of which are planted to nebbiolo. The balance comprises dolcetto, barbera and freisa, plus the white varieties of riesling and timorasso. Borgogno's wines are richly flavoured and aromatic, with a genuine structure and texture that can take time to fully emerge in the glass. I'm a huge fan of this producer, especially its No Name Barolo - a wine whose sumptuous body and texture exemplifies the consistent style of this maker.
My suggestion is to always decent these wines - they typically need a lot of aeration to show at their finest.
