Borgogno Classico Barolo 2019

The string of vintages from 2019 to 2021 are going to go down as absolute classics. The 2019 Borgogno Barolo Classico highlights what is so special about both producer and vintage. Classically styled and elegant but with power to burn. This is a wine that will offer serious enjoyment when young but has the capacity to age for 20-30 years. Classic wine from a stella vintage. Love it. Anthony D'Anna

After the highly problematic and uneven 2018s, Barolo bounces back with a stellar vintage in 2019 that could very well represent the beginning of a new cycle of strong, outstanding years for this historic appellation. The 2019s are potent, tightly wound wines that will thrill readers who appreciate the nuance, subtlety and structure of Nebbiolo. Today, the 2019s show elements of youthful austerity that, at times, recall vintages such as 2016, 2005 and 1999. The only thing 2019 lacks is some of the visceral excitement found in the very best years, although the top wines certainly check all the boxes. 2019 Barolo: Back on Track BY ANTONIO GALLONI | JANUARY 10, 2023

This is the classic, traditional “Formula” used by the ancient Barolo Families to produce a Barolo which embraces and melts each of the peculiar characters of the different vineyards and terroirs of the Barolo area. The Barolo Classic Borgogno is made by the combination of the grapes coming from five of the most prestigious vineyards of the Barolo area: Cannubi, Cannubi San Lorenzo, Fossati, Liste, San Pietro delle Viole.
