Barolo DOCG 2014 Borgogno

Garnet red with light orange reflections. On the nose, elegant notes of dried roses, violets, cherries, raspberries, and subtle hints of licorice, leather, and spice. On the palate it is medium-bodied and refined, with lively acidity, firm tannins, and good balance. The 2014 vintage, cooler and lighter than average, gives a more delicate and approachable style of Barolo, with freshness and finesse over power. Food Pairings: Excellent with traditional Piedmontese dishes such as tajarin with ragù, brasato, and agnolotti del plin. Pairs well with roasted or braised meats, truffle-based dishes, mushroom risotto, and aged cheeses such as Castelmagno or Parmigiano Reggiano.
