Derthona DOCG - Giacomo Borgogno

The Derthona from the wine-growing region of Piedmont presents itself in the glass with a dense golden yellow. When the glass is swirled, this white wine reveals a high density and richness, which shows in pronounced church windows on the rim of the glass. This Italian cuvée flatters the nose in the glass with wonderfully expressive notes of pears and peaches. Additional nuances of other fruits join in.

The Giacomo Borgogno Derthona Barolo presents itself to the wine lover pleasantly dry. This white wine never appears coarse or lean, but rather round and smooth. On the palate, this powerful white wine is characterized by an exceptionally light texture. On the finish, this wine from the wine-growing region of Piedmont, which has good aging potential, finally delights with remarkable length. Again, hints of peach and pear appear. Of course, the Derthona Barolo is influenced by more than just the soil of Barolo DOCG. This Italian can literally be described as an Old World wine that presents itself in an extraordinarily impressive way. After harvesting, the grapes are immediately brought to the winery. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
