{"product_id":"barbaresco-borgogno-1978","title":"Barbaresco Giacomo Borgogno \u0026 Figli 1978","description":"\u003cp\u003eGiacomo Borgogno \u0026amp; Figli, founded in 1761, is one of the oldest wine estates in the Barolo area. Situated in the town of Barolo itself, the house played a central role during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in developing the region's wines into a dry style, aided by the French winemaker Louis Oudart in the mid-1800s. Known for its uncompromising traditionalism and classic aging in large wooden casks known as botti, Borgogno represents a historical depth that few Italian producers can match. The estate's crest bears the motto \"Labore Cum Honore Pro Patria\" alongside the year 1848. In 2008, the Borgogno family sold the estate to the Farinetti family, who have maintained the classic style and continuity that stretches over two and a half centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1978 Barbaresco originates from the prestigious Piedmont region in northwestern Italy, an area literally translating to \"at the foot of the mountain\" and framed by the Alps. The wine is produced in the Barbaresco appellation, located in the Langhe hills east of Alba, encompassing the key villages of Barbaresco, Neive, Treiso, and San Rocco Seno d’Elvio. The dramatic, steep hills of the Langhe are often blanketed in thick autumn morning fog, which protects the grapes and ensures a long, perfect ripening period. The 1978 vintage in this area is described as legendary, characterized by power, structure, and balance, earning a score of 95 points. Piedmont is renowned for its deep focus on terroir and its rich gastronomy, including the famous white truffles from Alba.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is made entirely from Nebbiolo, Italy's premier grape variety, which is deeply rooted in Piedmont and forms the foundation of the great wines of both Barolo and Barbaresco. As a Denominazione d'Origine Controllata (DOC) wine, it was bottled directly in the production zone. This red wine is presented in a 750 ml bottle and has an alcohol content of 13.2%.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giacomo Borgogno \u0026 Figli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57113071485254,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-672_1a9f4981-51be-4d2a-bd2f-789f3acc2824.jpg?v=1786532733","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.dk\/en\/products\/barbaresco-borgogno-1978","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
