Borgogno Barolo Liste DOCG 2018

Since 1761, the most historical winery in Barolo. The underground cellars continue to represent a rare historical memory of the Langa to this day, and the wines are made according to tradition: long spontaneous fermentations in concrete tanks without the use of selected yeasts, and long periods of ageing, strictly in large Slavonian oak barrels. We cultivate our vineyards in Barolo, Madonna di Como and in the Colli Tortonesi. With absolute respect for the earth, we use no chemical fertilisers and no herbicides, and practice only eco-friendly treatments. This will result in our being certified as organic for the 2019 harvest. Today, Borgogno continues to be the expression of a territory and of tradition and history, always with a watchful eye on the future.

The cru orginated around 13 millon years ago due to erosion of the overlying terrain. As a result its composition differs slightly from the other lanhe lands. Liste essentially acquired acompletion of macro and micro elements that give the future wine an unequalled complexity and longevity. Highly visible from the curves of the secondary road that rises from Barolo towards the old Castello della Volta, the vineyards of this renowed cru cover around 6.75 hectares, with a southern exposureand an altitude that varies from 270 to 330 meters above sea level.

Barolo goes well with important dishes, such as traditional Piedmontese meat main courses. Ranging from world traditions, there is gulasch in Eastern Europe. Going to Japan instead for example fish, such as Black Cod (Alaskan fish marinated with sugar, sake, miso). Moving to The United States of America, beef (angus, wagyu, bue nostral, longhorn) in the brisket cut. One recipe is, for example, onion stout beef. But if you have the pleasure, even a simple “special” toast is perfect!
