Score 93/100 · Drink 2013-2026, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2007
The 2001 Barolo Storico. made from the Liste vineyard, is a big, structured wine loaded with spiced dark fruit that flows onto the palate with notable expansiveness and sweetness. The use of smaller barrels gives this wine a little more roundness yet this is a wine that relies on heft rather than elegance. Ideally a minimum of a few years of cellaring are called for.

Giacomo Borgogno & Figli
One of Piedmont’s oldest estates, Giacomo Borgogno & Figli, often known as just “Borgogno”, is archly traditional. Favouring long macerations and extended ageing in Slavonian cask, it is best known for its impressive Barolos, especially the prized late releases from its extensive library stock.
