BRG-BAROLO-RISERVA-2014
5 Items
The name Borgogno has always been linked to one of the oldest wineries in the Langhe and Piedmont. It all began in 1761 when Bartolomeo Borgogno founded the winery.
In the following years the company's history often binds to that of our country, as in 1861, the year in which the Unification of Italy was realized: the wine chosen to accompany the celebratory lunch of the unification of official Italy is the Barolo of Borgogno.
Cesare Borgogno is the absolute protagonist of the new century. He is the youngest of five brothers and, in 1920, takes over the cellar. A prominent figure and charisma immediately transmits enthusiasm and brings significant innovations. The genius of Caesar begins a tradition that today would seem pure madness: part of the wines of the best vintages are forgotten and jealously stored in the dark cellars for at least twenty years. This is how the best thousandths of Barolo begin to accumulate. Thanks to this intuition, since then it becomes customary. Even today the cellars represent a rare historical memory of the Langhe. In the second half of the 1950s the cellars were completely renovated, and in 1967 the company assumed the current name "Giacomo Borgogno & Figli". On the death of Cesare Borgogno in 1968 the conduction passed to his niece Ida and her future husband Franco Boschis, hitherto valid collaborators and later to their children, Cesare and Giorgio.
2008 marks another significant milestone in the history of Borgogno: the company is taken over by the Farinetti family.
The following year the important renovation of the main building is completed, which is restored to its original appearance; respecting the tradition, the historic cellars of 1761 are not modified. In 2010 Andrea Farinetti, after the wine school, took over the management of the company.

THE COMPANY
The name Borgogno has always been linked to one of the oldest wine producing houses in Langa and Piemonte. It all began in 1761 when Bartolomeo Borgogno established the cellar.
In the years that followed, the stories of the company and our country often intertwined. In 1861, for instance, when the Unity of Italy came about, the Barolo di Borgogno was the wine chosen to accompany the celebration lunch of Italy’s official unity.
The absolute leading figure of the new century was Cesare Borgogno. The youngest of the five siblings, he took over management in 1920. A striking and charismatic figure, he immediately conveyed a sense of enthusiasm and brought about substantial innovations. The genius of Cesare gave rise to a tradition that today would seem utterly foolish: a portion of the wines of the best years are set aside and coveted away in the dark canteens for almost twenty years. And so began the collection of the best millennium of Barolo. Thanks to this intuition, this has become par for the course. Even today the cellars represent a rare moment in Langa’s history. In the second half of the 1950s, the refurbishment of the cellars was completed and the company took on the current name of “Giacomo Borgogno & Figli” in 1967. Upon the death of Cesare Borgogno in 1968, the running of the company passed to his granddaughter Ida and her future husband, Franco Boschis, who had both been closely involved in the operation, and then to their children Cesare and Giorgio.
2008 marks another significant step in the history of Borgogno: the company is taken over by the Farinetti family.
The following years saw the completion of the major renovation of the main building that returns it to its original look; in keeping with tradition, no changes are made to the 1761 historical cellars. In 2012 Andrea Farinetti, having completed oenology studies, is at the helm of the company.
