Giacomo Borgogno Barolo “Le Teorie” 2017 – 3 Bottle Tasting Set
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A Journey Through Barolo, Told in Three Expressions
This curated tasting set brings together three distinct Barolo DOCG wines from one of Piedmont’s most historic estates, Giacomo Borgogno & Figli. Founded in 1761 and located in the village of Barolo itself, Borgogno is revered for its traditional winemaking philosophy, long aging, and timeless expressions of Nebbiolo.
The Le Teorie series is Borgogno’s conceptual exploration of Barolo — a collection of wines that express not just terroir, but ideas: life, success, and shared experience. Each bottling is sourced from multiple prestigious Barolo vineyards, offering a complete, panoramic expression of the appellation rather than a single cru.
This 2017 vintage tasting set allows you to experience how the same year, grape, and philosophy can express itself through three distinct narratives — making it ideal for comparative tasting, education, gifting, or cellaring.
