The timeline of Borgogno alone could fill three history books. A remarkable history, which has culminated in one of the most iconic wineries in the world. The story of Borgogno takes us back to the 18th (!) century, to 1761 to be precise. Bartolomeo Borgogno founded the eponymous winery in the tiny, yet almost legendary, village of Barolo. After many generations, the winery is still owned by the same family. The history has seen many ups and downs. For example, in the early 20th century, the wines were incredibly popular with the Tsars of Russia, for example. The real expansion of Borgogno wines began about a hundred years ago, around 1920. Cesare Borgogno, a scion of the Borgogno dynasty, took over the daily management. He ensured that Borgogno wines were widely exported. He is the reason that Borgogno wines are so popular today in Europe, the United States and Argentina.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nBorgogno Winery remains incredibly grateful to Cesare Borgogno for his dedication. This has made Borgogno's wines truly iconic. The winery developed a special wine for him, the development of which took a remarkable 50 years. This is Borgogno Cesare, a Barolo wine made with wine from four vintages. The most recent contained wines from the 2004, 1998, 1996, and 1982 vintages, all considered phenomenal. Unfortunately, the last edition is currently sold out, and we're eagerly awaiting the new Borgogno Cesare.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The old vineyards of Borgogno\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n Borgogno's vineyards are considered among the oldest around the village of Barolo. Although Borgogno is one of the most popular wineries in Piedmont, its vineyards are remarkably small. Barolo owns only 13 hectares of vineyards. Of these, only 9 hectares are planted with the star of Barolo wines: the Nebbiolo grape.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Borgogno makes the best Barolo wines\u003c\/h2\u003e \nThe Nebbiolo grape is responsible for the dazzling Barolo wines. Thanks to the excellent location of Borgogno's vineyards, the quality of Nebbiolo is astronomically high. This creates the classic, traditional flavors in Borgogno Barolo. Be quick, though, as regular Borgogno Barolo is consistently sold out year after year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n However, Borgogno still boasts many special wines in its cellars. Rumor has it that you can still find Barolo wines from the 1960s there, though this is a rumor that is neither known nor denied. Currently, Borgogno has an older vintage for sale, the Borgogno Barolo Riserva 1982. This Barolo wine, almost forty years old, is currently at its peak thanks to its enormous aging potential.","products":[{"product_id":"borgogno-no-name","title":"Borgogno No Name","description":"Borgogno No Name, simply fantastic! This red wine from Borgogno is made entirely from Nebbiolo. The vineyards for this wine are located around and just outside Barolo, meaning this wine cannot bear the iconic name Barolo. But then again, what kind of name do you give a red wine that's as good as Barolo but doesn't qualify? This one is simply unnameable. We agree, and certainly the winemakers do too.

After being harvested by hand, spontaneous fermentation takes place using indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks. This is followed by maceration for 30 days. The wine is then aged for four years in Slavonian oak barrels, with further refinement in the bottle for six months.

Their strength lies in their long-standing adherence to classic and traditional winemaking methods. The adventure began in 1761 when Bartolomeo Borgogne founded the winery. Today, the winery is run by the Farinetti family, who purchased the estate in 2008. Since then, organic conversion has been implemented, but the philosophy remains the same.\n\n\n \nThe harvest is carried out entirely by hand in early September. After pressing, this Derthona undergoes extensive oak aging. Initially, the Derthona is full-bodied and pleasant; notes of great interest and refinement, balance, power, finesse, and intensity emerge over time and after further refinement in the bottle. Aging, which is mandatory until September 1st of the following harvest year, accentuates the aromatic notes, minerality, and hydrocarbon content, key characteristics of the Timorasso varietal.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Borgogno Derthona a \"White Barolo\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe 2016 vintage is the first vintage to be offered for sale, making it a truly exclusive vintage.
