Barolo: the heart of production of the homonymous wine, a small village for one of the greatest wines in the world. Here, the wine growing tradition shows in every moment of the life of men and things. The rich land has shown its vocation for centuries; the calcareous and clay-rich soil, the particularly good exposure, the right altitude and the favourable climate, all these elements perfectly combine and make this area the ideal place for the most prestigious and demanding vineyards.
However, nature alone is not enough: wine growing is a complex practice that requires the careful and patient work of man, it is a precious art through which every year the miracle of the birth of great wines is possible. The grapes, from which Barolo, Dolcetto d’Alba and Barbera d’Alba are produced, come from estate vineyards; after being carefully selected, they are brought to Borgogno cellars.
Borgogno Farms own approximately 20 hectares of vineyards, located among the best areas in Barolo, such as Cannubi, Liste, Fossati and San Pietro. The grape varieties grown are Nebbiolo (for Barolo) in the sub-varieties Michet, Lampia and Rosè, as well as Dolcetto and Barbera; when vines are planted, great attention is paid to the combination of location and land exposure with the varieties able to take greatest advantage from these characteristics.
