About this Event
About this Class: Join our beverage epert expert in a specially curated tasting for the holiday season from Borgogno. For those looking to find the perfect bottle to gift or share, search no further and allow us to guide you through some of Italys best Nebbiolo wines for this holiday season.
About Riserva Wines: Hand-picked by our beverage experts for our cellar, these wines are exclusive vintages, rare production methods, and smaller estates to produce some of the best wines you can find in Italy.
About Borgogno:
Founded back in 1761—yes, before the U.S. had a president—Borgogno is the oldest continuously operating winery in Barolo. Fast-forward to the Farinetti family takeover in 2008: Andrea Farinetti brought new energy with an organic conversion and a bold return to fermenting in cement vats, just like the good old days. The entire operation still runs from a subterranean cellar labyrinth in the heart of Barolo village.
The estate now counts 39 hectares, including some of the region’s crown jewels—Cannubi, Liste, Fossati, San Pietro delle Viole—and even a Timorasso revival. Expect extended maceration, zero frills in the cellar, and wines with major aging chops. Borgogno is tradition with teeth—gripping, structured, and adored by Italy’s most serious collectors.
