Giacomo Borgogno Barolo Classico
Description: Bartolomeo Borgogno founded his winery in 1761; upon his death in 1794 his three sons took over control of the business, though only one, the youngest, Giacomo, persevered. The wine is a judicious blend of Nebbiolo grapes chosen from the finest hillside sites in the commune of Barolo. The winemaking process is a tribute to the great Barolos of the past and uses an extend 'submerged cap' maceration process in order to conjure up the special perfumes and tastes of this ancient tradition. The wine has tremendous substance and is intended to age for many years to arrive at the ultimate goal of balance and harmony. Alcohol, acids and tannin fuse together to form a powerful structure and the bouquet shows great complexity. (6 x 75 cl)

Foradori Vigneti delle Dolomiti Granato Rosso IGT
Description: There are two distinct levels of quality that Elisabetta Foradori has aimed at producing from Teroldego: the first is the 'Foradori', marked by the purity, dignity and intensity of the fruit. Soft yet penetrating its sweetness is backed by a supporting acidity that weaves elegantly amongst the fruit. The second, called 'Granato' is a wine of greater strength, harmony, depth and nobility. Deep, almost shy on the first nose, it reveals itself as the aromas come into focus: wild berries and candied fruit make way for roasted hazelnuts, baked bread, leather, eucalyptus and pomegranate, then the full robust palate shows plenty of temptingly chewy flesh. The following are the inspiring principles of Elisabetta Foradori's work in her vineyards, the climate and soil are elements that cannot be modified, while the work of man can lead to deep changes in the grapevine. Clonal selection in the 1970s led to the homogenisation of the Teroldego grape variety and hence to its genetic impoverishment: very few clones aimed exclusively at increasing the yield were developed. The limited area cultivated with Teroldego grapes was soon covered completely with the clonal material. The result is that today almost all of the vineyards are cultivated with only this variety of Teroldego. In 1985 Elisabetta Foradori started her work to recover the variety's diversity. After identifying the estate's oldest vineyard, she started with the careful selection and multiplication of the plant specimens that had the required quality features. Their monitoring over the years led to a further selection and it was followed by others reaching up to this day. Foradori has selected 15 Teroldego biotypes that she uses for replanting. They are the qualitative backbone of her wines. Ensuring a vineyard's utmost diversity is the best possible guarantee of obtaining great qualitative results. This is the idea behind all of the work that follows in the vineyard, aimed at reaching the variety's perfect balance thus allowing it to express itself in full and exalt its whole potential and uniqueness.
