{"product_id":"barolo-giacomo-borgogno-figli-1979","title":"Barolo Riserva Giacomo Borgogno \u0026 Figli 1979","description":"\u003cp\u003eGiacomo Borgogno \u0026amp; Figli, founded in 1761, is one of the oldest wine estates in the Barolo appellation. Located in the town of Barolo itself, the producer played a central role during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in defining the modern, dry style of the area's wines, aided by the French winemaker Louis Oudart in the mid-1800s. The estate is known for its uncompromising traditionalism and classic aging in large wooden casks, known as botti. Although the Borgogno family sold the estate to the Farinetti family in 2008, the historic production methods have been strictly preserved, maintaining a continuous legacy that spans over two and a half centuries. The label of this 1979 Barolo Riserva proudly displays the crest year of 1848 and the motto \"Labore Cum Honore Pro Patria,\" and the wine was bottled in its zone of origin, presented in the traditional Albeisa bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Denominazione d'Origine Controllata Riserva originates from the prestigious Piedmont region in northwestern Italy, an area literally translating to \"at the foot of the mountain\" and surrounded by the Alps. Specifically, it comes from the Barolo area within the steep hills of the Langhe, southwest of Alba. The landscape here is characterized by thick autumn morning fogs that protect the vineyards and ensure a long, steady ripening period for the grapes. The wine is made entirely from Nebbiolo, a premier Italian grape variety deeply tied to Barolo, Barbaresco, and the wider Piedmont region. The 1979 vintage in this area is described as soft and charming, achieving a score of 89 points.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giacomo Borgogno \u0026 Figli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57366316220742,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1139_f834654f-e871-4c27-b761-02fd61eb7176.jpg?v=1789384948","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/barolo-giacomo-borgogno-figli-1979","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
