Cool veins of bracing minerality form the backbone in Borgogno’s 2008 Barolo Liste.

There is a lot to like here, especially for those who can be patient. Tar, smoke, incense & scorched earth add gravitas but with more time in glass some sweeter notes emerge.

Bosca Barbaresco red wine is famous in the world for its elegance, achieved thanks to a long refinement in oak barrels, that tames its tannic and austere nature.

Gentle robustness, soft and dry, rightly tannic and well balanced.

Pair with: Little spicy soufflé, Spinach and ricotta flakes with a sprinkling of nutmeg, Polenta and mushrooms au gratin, grana flan on a bed of mushrooms; Tajarin and ravioli with truffle, various types of risotto with aromatic sauces

Bouquet: Typical scents of ripe reds fruits.

Palate: Round taste and persistent.

 Roast red meat, game, strong soups, truffled foods and cheeses. Matured salami and all strong taste dishes.

Colour is cherry red. Aromas of cherry and coffee with subtly integrated toasted notes. Lovely fullness. Appealing, silky tannins. Delectable and fruity with toasted notes and lovely power. Flavours of chocolate underscored by a hint of menthol. Long finish with assorted fruit flavours and a subtle touch of oak.

Percfect with all meats, pizza and vegetable dishes.
