Fratelli Serio & Battista Borgogno - Cannubi 2011 - Barolo
Fratelli Serio & Battista Borgogno - Cannubi 2011 - Barolo tasted by the Best Sommelier in the World Andreas Larsson.
Dried Fruit, Dry Wood, Tobacco
A wine with a quite orange sunburst colour. Nose has a lot of evolution, it’s showing age, with a certain hint of oxidation, dried fruit; dried tomato, dried cherry. Palate has a quite dense grip, slightly firm tannin here, with elevated acidity. Fruitiness is more towards the dried fruit, dried tomato, dried cherry, dry wood, some tobacco. It has length for sure, I would say medium weight; it has length still with very present tannin. The fruit today is not really in harmony with the tannin, so it appears slightly dry and austere. I would judge this is a very traditional style, with a long oak aging, which is interesting in its own style; but I would prefer probably to put this back in the cellar, to give it a slightly rounder and more harmonious appearance.

Introducing Borgogno's Barolo Riserva Vertical Collection
We can't think of a better way to dive in to the wonderful world of Barolo - where Nebbiolo (quite literally) rules over the land. Borgogno Winery are one of the oldest wineries in all of Italy! They started in 1761 in the hills of Langhe in Piemonte where the main region is Barolo and Nebbiolo is the grape behind these fantastic red wines. Over the centuries, Borgogno have crafted up quite the legendary reputation for their traditional Barolo wines that have a proven track record for ageing superbly well.
We've just managed to get our hands on this very handsome vertical collection compromised of the 1998, 2003, and 2006 Barolo Riservas. It weighs in at $450 - which is incredible given the current vintage price of the Barolo Riserva comes in at roughly $150!

Giacomo Borgogno & Figli - Riserva 2008 - Barolo
Giacomo Borgogno & Figli - Riserva 2008 - Barolo tasted 100% blind by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson.
Developed colour here, with a light ruby core and a rather tawny orange rim. Complex nose, with some development. It is showing more of a dried fruitiness; like dried cherry, some candied fruit, chocolate and a fine spiciness. There is also some wood present, like cedar wood, tobacco. Good bite on the palate. It appears a bit dry at first. It is certainly a wine that needs it’s time to open up. It is good weight here, with a lot of extract. Tannins there are just about to start to integrate. They leave a good impression on the palate, because it really keeps lingering. The finish is truly very long. With fine layers of flavour like red cherry, some mix red berries. With a dash of those spices like orange peel, ginger. This is certainly a wine with a maturity and development, but it does have a youthful acidity to it. So it is a good lift on the palate in terms of freshness and acidity. Complex wine that certainly needs some age to open up. I would happily drink it from today and over. I mean this will continue to go on for 10, 15, 20 years depending on what style you like.

CHEF TIMOTHY HOLLINGSWORTH
______
Chef Timothy Hollingsworth’s 13 year history in Napa Valley, blended with his present roots as an Angeleno living in downtown Los Angeles, sets the stage for an environment of sophisticated rusticity with highly eclectic, vibrant, and seasonal flavors.
While working at The French Laundry under Chef Thomas Keller in 2008, Hollingsworth competed in the Bocuse d’Or USA, where he was awarded the opportunity to represent the United States at the Bocuse d’Or World Cuisine Contest—the biennial global cooking competition first envisioned in 1987 by revered French chef Paul Bocuse. Hollingsworth subsequently completed a rigorous training process, during which he worked with some of the industry’s most influential figures. In early 2009, Hollingsworth traveled to Lyon, France to compete in the prestigious event, where he placed sixth out of 24 prominent chef teams from around the world.
THE TABLE, THE EXPERIENCE
______
Otium strips away the formalities of dining while focusing on the quality of food, warm service, and relaxed casual ambiance.

Borgogno Wine Tasting at Wine Watch
This historic winery made big news in the wine world after just 250 of being owned by the same family the landmark Borgogno winery has been sold. Family owners Giorgio Boschis and his brother, Cesare, great-nephews of Giacomo Borgogno, say they finalized a deal selling the winery to local entrepreneur Oscar Farinetti and his son, Francesco, in January 2009. Local sources estimate the sale price at around $30 million.
Farinetti made his fortune initially with the Trony electronics retail chain and, more recently, with the Eataly Italian food-and-wine outlets in Turin and Milan, with stores opening soon in Tokyo and New York.
According to the terms of the sale, the Boschis brothers will continue to oversee production at the winery for the next three years. They each retain a 5 percent interest in the winery for that period. Nothing is going to change, Giorgio Boschis said. We retain complete control over the production and will carry on as normal. If we decide to sell the rest of our percentage after three years, the price is already fixed.
The sale includes a valuable inventory-around 120,000 bottles of old vintages of the winery's Barolos, from 1961 through 1990. My uncle, Cesare, built up the bulk of the collection, said Boschis, during the lean years of the [World War II] and after. We generally keep back around 20 percent of the production in a good vintage and sell [the bottles] a few at a time, mostly to the quality restaurant trade.
The Farinettis will make a few changes after the sale, according to Boschis. The winery will only produce wines from its own 49.5 acres of vineyards, including vineyard plots in the top Barolo crus, such as Cannubi, Liste and San Pietro. Consequently, production of the Grignolino d'Asti and the Freisa d'Asti reds, made from bought grapes, will cease. Boschis also said that Farinetti has made a marketing strategy agreement for the United States with his friend, Giorgio Rivetti, owner of La Spinetta in Barbaresco.
The winery currently produces around 8,300 cases of wine, including three Barolos: a standard Barolo, a Barolo Classico and the single-vineyard Barolo Liste. The rest of the production includes a Barbera, a Dolcetto, a Nebbiolo d'Alba and a small quantity of the traditional Barolo Chinato (herb-infused Barolo). The 2003 vintage of the Barolos will be released shortly, after the customary five years in the winery.
I guess we were a bit unhappy to see the winery go out of the family, said Boschis. But the new owner is a very practical person, not just a financier, and we can feel confident about the future.
I will have to leave early to get to the Great Wine Semiar's opening tasting with Madeira but I will taste through the wines before I leave to ensure that everything is up to snuff and we will have Tamer Harpke from Indigenous Selections representing the winery. Toni will be here representing Wine Watch Catering and will be serving a four course menu to accompany the tasting wines. The Fee for this tasting is $150 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463.

Barolo Borgogno Riserva 1998 DOCG
Annata sulla carta non irresistibile, regala da subito emozioni e classe, finezza ed eleganza di mirto, alloro, goudron, poutpourry fresco, note di sandalo e muschio. Ma è la bocca che colpisce e rimane, una freschezza mai doma, una beva semplicissima. colpisce al naso e crea aspettativa che la bocca supera grazie ad un dinamismo inaspettato e una durata sorprendenti in bocca, un vino che sa farsi ricordare e farsi utilizzare a tavolo, non banale per un vino con più di 10 anni in bottiglia. Da vivere ma soprattuto da bere come vino quotidiano, se ci volessimo davvero bene!
Barbara Sandrone Compares their two Barolo: Cannubi Boschis & Le Vigne
Across the road from Barolo's Cannubi Boschis, the northern most vineyard portion of the revered Cannubi hill, lies the scenic Luciano Sandrone estate. Luciano left the Marchesi di Barolo winery in 1990 on the heels of crafting out the outstanding ’89 and never looked back, today one of the Barolo stars of the region.
For the Cannubi Boschis, Luciano harvests & vinifies his grapes from three mostly south facing separate sub-plots while the Le Vigne is a blend of grapes from four separate plots in Barolo, Baudana in Serralunga d’Alba, & Novello. Starting in 2011, Villero fruit will also be added. Both Barolo are aged for a length of four years.
In this video, Luciano’s daughter Barbara, speaks about the differences between the two Barolo and as you will gather, these are wines that deserve some space in your cellar.
