Giacomo Borgogno - Langhe Freisa 2020
Giacomo Borgogno e Figli is a winery located in Piedmont , northwestern Italy . The company was founded by Bartolomeo Borgogno in 1761. Borgogno is famous for its practice of storing wines for more than a decade before offering them for sale: Cesare Borgogno began this signature policy when he took management in the 1920s. In 2008 the estate was sold to the Farinetti family . The winery is located in the center of the town of Barolo , with cellars dug into the hillside. Borgogno uses traditional winemaking methods, including indigenous yeasts, long fermentations and the use of large oak barrels from Slavonia.
Langhe Freisa 2020 is made from Freisa grown in the Langhe region. Spontaneous fermentation is carried out for 12 days followed by gentle pressing and aging in large oak barrels for 10 months . The wine is bottled and refined for 4 more months before being released on the market. This traditional process helps maintain the freshness and animal notes of an easy-drinking and fragrant wine.
Grape variety: 100% Freisa
