2023 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Nebbiolo Langhe Bartomè

The history of the Borgogno winery in Barolo Borgogno winery is one of the oldest and most respected producers in Piedmont, founded in 1761 in the village of Barolo. The house has a rich history intertwined with the rise of Barolo as a world-class wine region. As early as the 19th century, Borgogno was producing wines for royal tables and diplomatic occasions. Since 2008, Borgogno has been owned by the Farinetti family, known for Eataly, among others. Under their management, the house has been modernized without deviating from the traditional style. The focus is on pure, terroir-driven wines, produced with respect for natural processes and minimal intervention in the cellar. The Langhe region and the climate in Piedmont The Langhe is located in the province of Cuneo in southern Piedmont, an area known for its rolling hills, limestone soils, and excellent location for growing Nebbiolo. The vineyards of Borgogno benefit from a continental climate with warm summers, cool nights, and long, sunny autumns. This combination ensures a slow, even ripening of the grapes, which is important for preserving freshness, aromas, and structure. The Bartomé vineyard is situated on a slope in the municipality of Barolo, at an altitude of approximately 400 meters. Here, exclusively Nebbiolo grapes are grown for this specific wine, where manual harvesting and natural fermentation ensure a pure expression of grape and soil.
