BORGOGNO

A mythical estate, which has always been connected to the best winemaking tradition of the Langhe region, and more generally of Piedmont. It all began in 1761 when Bartolomeo Borgogno founded the winery. Over the years the history of the company walked side by side with the history of Italy itself, like in 1861, the year Italy became a unified nation: the wine chosen for the celebratory lunch of the unification was the Barolo by Borgogno; this goes to show the centrality that even then this important brand could boast. Over the decades the name Borgogno has represented, for all passionates of the best Barolos, the very synonym of its best tradition. Spontaneous fermentations, very long macerations, large barrels, that austerity and elegance that it managed to express year after year, have placed the Borgogno’s Barolos consistently at the top of the appellation. 2008 marks another significant milestone in the history of the winery: the company is in fact taken over by Oscar Farinetti, the owner of Eataly, who today, respecting tradition, continues to retrace what has successfully been done throughout history.
