(Wine Advocate Score 91) With fruit from La Morra, the Borgogno 2016 Barolo Fossati reveals a delicate textural fiber with softly layered aromas of dried blueberry, cassis, bitter almond and grilled rosemary. I often wonder about the wines of the venerated and historic estate of Borgogno; it has all its cards in place in terms of site selection, but then it ultimately falls short in terms of intensity and clarity of fruit. Everything is there, but it's also a bit muddled and blurred. This vintage shows good results, but I feel that more can be achieved and expected here.

This cru originated around 6 million years ago through sedimentation from the Padano sea, after which the African earth plates collided with those of the Italian peninsula. Being a relatively young plot, it has a good percentage of sand in its composition that ensures that the wines are characterized by explosive floral and red fruit notes. It can be found along the secondary road that runs from Barolo to La Morra. This vineyard measures around 3.20 hectares with a south-eastern exposure that varies from 290 to 50 meters above sea level.

Spontaneous fermentation carried out by indigenous yeasts for about 12 days in concrete tanks, controlled temperature (22 – 25 C initially, 29-30 at the end ), followed by submerged cup maceration for 40 days, stable temperature 29 C. After the racking off, the malolactic fermentation starts, and it lasts about 15 days at 22 C. Ageing: 4 years in Slavonian oak casks (4500L) with a further refining in bottle for 6 mounths.
