In a location eloquently symbolic of Barolo, right at the interface between Barolo’s historic Cannubi hill and La Morra’s Brunate, born our winery founded in the early 1930s that is the classic family-run wine estate. The emotional attachment to this land and to these vineyards has been handed down from father to son. Today, Francesco Borgogno’s sons, Giancarlo and Claudio, direct the winery, flanked by Claudio’s wife Silvia. Together they check every step in the production of their wine starting with the vineyards and following with the winemaking and the care of the cellar. Our winery also produces a small quantity of Barbera d’Alba with grapes which comes from the near village of Monforte d’Alba. Barbera is a good red wine that has grown in importance over the years, it’s a “peppy” wine with a robust structure and it is one of a most characteristic Piedmont vine. The work in the winery begins with the crushing of the grapes, followed by fermentation – lasting around 9 days for this wine, drawing off, and a further racking approximately 18 days later. The wine is then stored prior to bottling in the following spring.
