Score 88/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2009

Unfortunately I also encountered some disappointments, including an out of balance, excessively austere 1998 Borgogno Barolo Storico and a green, awkward 1998 Scarzello Barolo, but these wines represent exceptions to what is otherwise a very strong vintage for the great Barolos of Piedmont.

About the producer

Borgogno
Giacomo Borgogno & Figli

One of Piedmont’s oldest estates, Giacomo Borgogno & Figli, often known as just “Borgogno”, is archly traditional. Favouring long macerations and extended ageing in Slavonian cask, it is best known for its impressive Barolos, especially the prized late releases from its extensive library stock.
