Description
The Albesani Vigna Borgese 2016 cuvée represents the estate's excellence in the renowned Albesani cru. The 2016 vintage is considered exceptional in Piedmont, offering a perfect balance of power, tannic structure, and aging potential. This specific parcel ("Vigna Borgese") produces highly concentrated grapes, vinified here with minimal intervention to allow the terroir to express itself fully.
Visually, the wine displays an intense garnet color. The nose is deep and powerful , developing aromas of black cherry, licorice, tar and balsamic spices .
The attack on the palate is dense and structured , revealing an imposing yet ripe tannic framework . The balance between alcohol and freshness is masterful , leading to a long and austere finish, a hallmark of truly great wines meant for aging.
