Borgogno Masterclass with Luca Colia & Mattia Tabacco – Monday 24th October
Born in 1761 in the heart of Barolo, Borgogno is the oldest continuously operating Barolo producer who has stood witness to the most significant moments in Italian history.
In 1861, the year of the Unification of Italy, Borgogno’s Barolo was chosen to accompany the official celebratory lunch.
Today, it continues to be the expression of a territory with admirable traditions, and yet is re-inventing itself with promising prospects in the future. Borgogno believes that the making of extraordinary wines takes time.
When Giacomo Borgogno took over the management of the winery in 1920, he implemented the forward-thinking policy of putting away stocks of good vintages in bottle and releasing them over two decades later, something our Members will be able to taste for themselves in the 1982 Giacomo Borgogno Riserva.
Borgogno adopts the unconventional approach of valuing practice over theory in the cellar. Their wines are still made according to the traditions of long, spontaneous fermentations in concrete tanks without the use of selected yeasts, as well as long periods of ageing, strictly in large Slavonian oak barrels.
Join Luca Colia, the Export Manager of Borgogno and Oeno Group Buyer, Mattia Tabacco, for a masterclass exploring the history and present-day of this distinguished winery, whilst sampling 5 outstanding wines dating back to 1982.
