Our strength lies in absolute respect for tradition. Our wines are made in the same way as the past, with traditional and natural vinification.
Consequently, we use no selected yeasts, enzymes or mannoproteins.

Fermentation practices have remained the same for several decades, with long fermentations, plunging of the cap and pumping over by hand. Over the years, techniques have been perfected to enable the production of real, living, clean wines which differ from year to year thanks to the fact that we respect the characteristics of the vintage, always with the unmistakable Borgogno imprint achieved thanks to long ageing in large Slavonian oak barrels.

A century-old tradition begun by Cesare Borgogno in 1920 ensures that part of the wines from the best vintages are jealously kept in the cellars for at least twenty years.

The result is the acquisition of outstanding roundness and balance, with precious and multiple nuances of aroma. Thanks to this successful intuition, which has since become customary, the cellars continue to represent a rare historical memory of the Langa area to this day.

A praise to slowness
Being slow in one’s actions means having the time to understand things better and do them the right way. This is what we have been doing in our vineyards and with our wines since 1761.

Keeping things simple is our history: just a few, very clear rules
In all the vineyards we own, we use just organic fertilisers, with no herbicides, and carry out only eco-friendly treatments. This is why our grapes leave zero residue; clean grapes are essential to make high-quality wines.

In 2016 we began the conversion that will take us to organic certification for the 2019 harvest.

Our estate covers about 39 hectares, 8 of which are cultivated with woods and 31 with vineyards.

About 60% is cultivated with Nebbiolo, with the remainder divided between Dolcetto, Barbera and Freisa. Five of these hectares are dedicated to the cultivation of white grape varieties, two of Riesling and three of Timorasso.

And we also have the immense fortune to possess five of the best Barolo cru vineyards: Liste, Cannubi, Cannubi San Lorenzo, Fossati and San Pietro delle Viole.
