Producer tasting notes: "Ruby red colour with garnet hightlights. Red ripe fruits and spiciness scents to the nose and good body to the palate, an incisive sip. Thanks to a pleasant acidity that gives great freshness. Persistent tannin. A wine destined for a long aging." - Giacomo Borgogno & Figli

1997 was an exceptional vintage in terms of climatic conditions. From January to May there were no precipitations except for some frost that thinned out the production. Variable weather in June, hot weather in July broken by frequent storms. Same weather for the first part of August and then good climatic conditions and hot sun till the end of November.
