{"product_id":"barolo-giacomo-borgogno-figli-1987","title":"Barolo Riserva Giacomo Borgogno \u0026 Figli 1987","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1987 Barolo Riserva from Giacomo Borgogno \u0026amp; Figli represents a deep historical lineage in Italian winemaking. Founded in 1761, Borgogno is one of the oldest wine houses in the Barolo appellation. Situated in the town of Barolo itself, the estate played a central role during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in defining the modern, dry style of the wine, aided by the French winemaker Louis Oudart in the mid-1800s. The producer is known for its uncompromising traditionalism and classic production methods, including aging in large wooden casks known as botti. The label proudly bears the crest motto \"Labore Cum Honore Pro Patria\" alongside the year 1848, reflecting its long-standing heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Denominazione d'Origine Controllata e Garantita Riserva is produced in the prestigious Barolo area, located in the Langhe hills southwest of Alba within the Piedmont region. Piedmont, meaning \"at the foot of the mountain,\" is surrounded by the Alps and is renowned for its dramatic, steep hillsides and strong focus on terroir. During autumn, these hills are frequently enveloped in a thick morning fog that protects the vineyards and ensures a long, steady ripening period for the grapes. The wine is made exclusively from Nebbiolo, a prominent Italian grape variety deeply tied to the region and known for yielding wines of significant structure. The 1987 vintage in this area achieved a score of 81 points and is characterized as light and mature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough the Borgogno family sold the estate to the Farinetti family in 2008, the modern ownership has maintained the house's classic approach. The estate continues to operate with a focus on the traditional methods that have defined its production for over two and a half centuries, ensuring that the historical identity of the appellation remains intact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giacomo Borgogno \u0026 Figli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57370861502790,"sku":null,"price":1700.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1182_b11814bb-061c-424a-ab99-d4c949e7a448.jpg?v=1789474758","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.dk\/en\/products\/barolo-giacomo-borgogno-figli-1987","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
