Tasting Notes

Borgogno Barolo Cannubi Riserva 2020 stands as a distinguished emblem of Italy’s esteemed Piedmont wine region, brought to life by the historic expertise of Giacomo Borgogno & Figli, a cellar with roots dating back to 1761. This iconic Barolo hails from the fabled Cannubi vineyard, renowned as one of the most prestigious terroirs for Nebbiolo grapes, where a unique blend of soil composition and microclimate crafts an exquisite harmony of power, elegance, and aromatic depth.

Crafted exclusively in exceptional vintages, the 2020 Riserva exemplifies the meticulous tradition of slow aging, spending extended time in large oak barrels to develop profound complexity. This patient maturation process, coupled with significant bottle aging, reveals a wine of exceptional finesse, marked by layered aromas of ripe red cherry and raspberry, delicate rose petals, dried herbs, and subtle nuances of truffle and warm spices.

The 2020 vintage in Piedmont enjoyed an ideal growing season, characterized by balanced weather that allowed Nebbiolo grapes to attain full physiological ripeness while retaining vibrant natural acidity. This combination contributes to the wine’s outstanding aging potential, ensuring the Cannubi Riserva will continue to evolve gracefully for decades, rewarding patience with greater depth and sophistication.

On the palate, the wine presents a firm yet silky tannin structure and harmonious body, delivering a profound tasting experience that captures both the noble heritage of Borgogno and the distinctive character of the Cannubi terroir. Its versatility and richness make it a perfect complement to classic Piedmont dishes such as braised meats, aged cheeses, and truffle-infused specialties, elevating every fine dining moment.

This offering is available as a La Place de Bordeaux Pre-arrival, with delivery commencing in September 2026, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire this exceptional Barolo in advance and secure a significant piece of Piedmontese wine history.

Tomato consommé. Homemade ketchup. Lilac and lavender. A little wild rosemary. A pleasing salinity that reinforces the sense of concentration and viscosity. Deep. Dark. Profound. Viscous. This has more vertical range and depth in the mouth than the other Borgogno Riservas and exceptional concentration and density. That incredibly visceral sense of viscosity too. The most juicy, fresh and sapid on the finish of the Borgogno Riservas, with the acidity swirling around the pointy pixilating tannins bringing eddies of freshness that extend the finish to a far distant horizon. The best vintage of this I’ve tasted and the highlight of an exceptional trilogy from Borgogno. - Colin Hay

Bright berry fruits wrapped in campfire crackle all layered in the Cannubi bottling by high floral aromatics that come flooding in halfway through the palate. Wonderful wines to have on the Place, and this is traditional Barolo presented with class and clarity. 1.3ha, Andrea Farinetti owner, Simone Bosari winemaker. Certified organic since 2019 vintage.

About this Wine

Piedmont

Piedmont (Piemonte in Italian) is probably the finest wine region in all of Italy, and has laid claim to this since Roman times. It has a continental climate influenced by the surrounding Alps and Ligurian Apennines, and is located in the north-west of Italy, bordering both France and Switzerland.

Piedmont has only 1% of the total vineyards of Bordeaux and 15% that of Burgundy. So while a top Chateaux may produce upwards of 35,000 cases a year, leading Barolo producers will often make only 800 cases. More than half of its vineyards are registered with DOC designations and many are in the Apennine or Alpine foothills, from 300-600m above sea level. Most of the wines are produced by smaller family estates rather than larger holdings.

Piedmont has 46 different DOC and four DOCG regions, and produces the largest number of well known, world-recognized, prize-winning wines. The most famous would have to be Barolo or Barbaresco, whose power comes from the Nebbiolo grape variety. The most widely planted red variety is Barbera although Dolcetto, Muscat, Shiraz and Bonarda are also produced.

The white variety most well known is Moscato, which is often made into frizzante (bubbly) wines known as Asti. Cortese is made into the popular Gavi wines, and smaller amounts of Chardonnay and high quality Sparkling are also produced in the far north of Piedmont.
