Borgogno Barolo Fossati Red 2016

The Barolo Fossati 2016 from the prestigious house of Borgogno is a single-cru Italian red wine that represents the excellence of Piedmont. This Barolo DOCG comes from the Fossati vineyard, a historic plot located between Barolo and La Morra, covering approximately 3.20 hectares with a southeast exposure, at an altitude between 290 and 350 meters.

Unique Terroir

The Fossati cru originated approximately 6 million years ago, through the sedimentation of the Padano sea, after the collision of the African and Italian peninsula tectonic plates. Being a relatively young geological plot, it has a good percentage of sand in its composition, which ensures wines characterized by explosive floral and red fruit notes.
