Descrizione

The Barolo DOCG Cannubi of Borgogno is born in the heart of the Langhe, a prestigious terroir universally recognized for its exceptional ability to express Nebbiolo, the traditional grape of this denomination. Cultivated with organic methods, this Barolo reflects a perfect balance between tradition and respect for the environment. After a slow fermentation, the wine matures in oak barrels, progressively developing complexity and depth.

In the glass, it presents a bright garnet red color, anticipating a wide and refined bouquet, with scents of withered roses, ripe cherry, sweet spices, and light balsamic notes. On the palate, it is enveloping, with elegant and well-integrated tannins, capable of evolving over time while maintaining a minerality that tells the story of the Cannubi territory. Ideal paired with red meats, braised dishes, and aged cheeses, this Barolo represents an authentic expression of true Piedmont.

Winery history

Founded in 1761 by Bartolomeo Borgogno, the estate has passed through several generations while maintaining a traditional style. During the twentieth century it expanded its exports and amassed a collection of historic bottles; in 1967 it took the name Giacomo Borgogno & Figli. In 2008 ownership passed to the Farinetti family, who invested in restoring the historic buildings and the cellar without altering its classic character. In the 2010s the estate returned to the exclusive use of concrete for fermentations and began converting to organic production. In recent years Borgogno has also developed projects focused on the traditional Barolo crus and on expanding into areas such as Madonna di Como and the Colli Tortonesi.

Production philosophy

Practising the traditions of the Langhe with an emphasis on slowness and respect for the land: spontaneous fermentations in concrete, long aging in large Slavonian oak casks, and attention to agronomic sustainability with practices that avoid chemical fertilizers and herbicides. The estate states a conservative approach to winemaking, combined with investments in restorations and sustainability.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are concentrated in the commune of Barolo, with estates also in Madonna di Como and in the Colli Tortonesi for Timorasso. The soils are predominantly calcareous-clay marls typical of the best exposures in the Langhe.

Awards and recognitions

Conversion to organic farming and organic-certified production; Equalitas certification obtained in 2024; the estate has long been recognized and noted for its collections of historic vintages.
