Lodovico Borgogno Barolo di Barolo 2019

Lodovico is a husband and wife team from Piedmont Royalty. The wife and the wines namesake Virna Borgogno who’s family history dates back to 1720 in Barolo, sources her Barolo from her fathers, Lodovico Borgogno, single vineyard holdings in Barolo which are some of the most famous Cru’s in all of Barolo. Her husband Gianni Abrigo is famous for his family’s Barbaresco and today both Virna and Gianni make Abrigo’s Barbaresco and the Virna Barolo’s. This Barolo is a blend of the great Borgogno Barolo vineyards including Sarmassa and Preda. The wine is simply glorious, soaring with fruit, wonderful complexity on the palate and a long finish. Suckling comments, “Don’t miss this, crazy quality.” This is a great buy, while supplies last. Again the finest price to quality Barolo I have tasted this year!

Barolo di Barolo is a blend of 2 different vineyards in Barolo: PREDA and SARMASSA, both in the village of Barolo. The somewhat different soils, exposures and microclimates of the Preda and Sarmassa vineyards combine to produce a well-balanced, harmonious wine packed with the fresh, elegant aromas supplied by La Preda, and the full body and structure catered for by Sarmassa.

Loads of blackberry and red berry with vanilla oak character. full and concentrated, displaying seamless tannins and gorgeous fruit. Complex and complete, full-bodied, with lots of fruit and round tannins. It’s long and fruity. It will be at its best after 2-3 years stored lying down in cool, dark surroundings.
