{"product_id":"barbaresco-borgogno-1969","title":"Barbaresco Riserva Giacomo Borgogno \u0026 Figli 1969","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 1969 Barbaresco Riserva is a historic red wine produced by Giacomo Borgogno \u0026amp; Figli. Founded in 1761, the estate is one of the oldest wine houses in the region, possessing a historical depth matched by very few Italian producers. Located in the town of Barolo, Borgogno played a central role during the 18th and 19th centuries in defining the modern, dry style of the local wines, assisted by French winemaker Louis Oudart in the mid-1800s. The estate is renowned for its uncompromising traditionalism and classic aging in large wooden casks, known as botti. The label proudly displays the crest year of 1848 and the motto \"Labore Cum Honore Pro Patria.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is crafted entirely from Nebbiolo, an Italian top grape known for providing great structure, grown in the Barbaresco area of Piemonte. Situated in the Langhe hills east of Alba, Barbaresco is celebrated for producing an elegant counterpart to the neighboring Barolo. The Piemonte region, bordered by the Alps, is characterized by dramatic, steep hills that are often enveloped in thick autumn morning fog, which protects the grapes and ensures a long ripening period. The 1969 vintage in this area, which achieved a score of 83 points, is described as having fine acidity, but being a bit thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClassified as a Denominazione d'Origine Controllata (DOC) Riserva, this wine represents a continuous winemaking tradition that spans over two and a half centuries. Although the Borgogno family sold the estate to the Farinetti family in 2008, the modern ownership has carefully preserved the house's classic style, ensuring that Borgogno remains one of the deepest historical lines in Piemonte's wine culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giacomo Borgogno \u0026 Figli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57448496365894,"sku":null,"price":345.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1408_cc289d6e-ca0a-4a4a-8f76-834928c35ffc.jpg?v=1790247643","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/barbaresco-borgogno-1969","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
