Barolo wine cellar | Giacomo Borgogno e Figli since 1761

In the heart of the historic centre of the village, a step away from the Castle of Barolo, the Borgogno House rises from the foundations, with its own cellars excavated in the rock of the hill. Here, some of the most prestigious Piedmontese wines originate.

A careful, traditional vinification supported by modern equipment gives Barolo wine its richness and its structure, making it suitable for a long ageing while at the same time keeping its characteristics of freshness. It rests and refines in Slavonian oak barrels and in dark bottles, in a fresh and peaceful environment, under the constant and meticulous control of the experts.

For centuries, Borgogno House has been in the habit of bottling considerable amounts of Barolo wine of the best vintages and putting it aside for further refinement for at least ten years. This results in extraordinarily rounded and balanced wines that acquire precious and diversified fragrance tones.

Before being proposed to consumers, these bottles are checked one by one and decanted through a delicate but rapid manual operation that also allows elimination of sediments. In a corner of the cellar, visitors can see the old working equipment, proof of the long path travelled by the Borgogno House.
