About the Manufacturer
The name of the Giacomo Borgogno winery was first mentioned in official documents in 1848, but according to family chronicles, the winery was founded by Bartolomeo Borgogno in 1671. The sacred tradition of the Giacomo Borgogno house is to leave a large portion of the best vintage wines for further aging in the winery's cellars. Over the years, they acquire magnificent aroma and exceptional balanced roundness. Each bottle is carefully checked before the wine reaches the consumer. The vineyards of Giacomo Borgogno & Figli, covering a total area of 40 hectares, are located on four of the best sites of the Barolo appellation: Cannubi, Liste, Fossati, and San Pietro. The vineyards primarily grow local grape varieties: Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, and Barbera. Despite being a small estate, the excellent quality of the wines has brought it worldwide recognition and fame. Wines from Giacomo Borgogno & Figli have repeatedly been chosen for diplomatic banquets: they were served at the celebration of the unification of Italy in 1861, as well as during the official visit of Russian Tsar Nicholas II.
