Score 96/100 · Drink 2024-2054, Jeb Dunnuck, May 2024
The 2016 Barolo Riserva comes primarily from Liste, with 20% from Fosati and 10% from Cannubi. It’s a ripe red brick color is rich with aromas of dark stones, cherry liqueur, and sappy herbs. Ripe and concentrated, with fresh acidity, it has a weightless feel, ripe, fine tannins, and a clean, mineral/earthy finish. It’s going to drink well over the next 20-30 years.

About the producer

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.
