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. Langhe Nebbiolo is a wine made from the same grapes used to obtain Barolo and the vineyard is also the same. However, it goes through a different wine-making process. It is certainly a lighter wine than Barolo but just as delicate, elegant and suitable for aging. Work in the Nebbiolo vineyards starts in the winter with the pruning of the vines and goes on with allegation, cleaning and cutting of the branches and ending with harvesting during the month of October. Ageing comes about stainless steel tank for about 2/3 months, followed by bottling and a wait of at least 6 months in tilted bottles.
