Winemaker Notes
The Barbera d'Alba 2022 from Silvia Borgogno is a vibrant expression of the Barbera grape. The vineyards are situated in the Barolo area, benefiting from calcareous clay soils that impart structure and complexity to the wine. After hand-harvesting, the grapes undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve their fresh fruit character. The wine is then aged for several months in large oak casks, which adds subtle spice notes without overpowering the natural acidity and fruitiness of the Barbera. On the palate, expect flavors of ripe cherries, plums, and a hint of vanilla, with a well-balanced acidity and smooth tannins. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F).
The Story
Francesco and Silvia Borgogno represent the new generation of winemakers in Barolo, bringing a fresh perspective to the region's rich winemaking traditions. Growing up in a family with deep roots in viticulture, they developed a profound respect for the land and its potential to produce exceptional wines.
Their approach combines traditional methods with modern techniques, focusing on sustainable vineyard practices and minimal intervention in the cellar. This philosophy allows the unique characteristics of the Barbera grape and the Barolo terroir to shine through in her wines.
