Borgogno is one of the very first and probably the oldest wineries in Piemonte. The Italian winery strongly believes in the classic and traditional philosophy which is its strength; for years the observance of these traditions has been passed on to the next generations. Borgogno owns 13 hectares of vineyards of which 9 are planted with the Nebbiolo grape. The wines are all vinified in a traditional way to produce unique and structured wines. The wines are produced sustainably.

Borgogno has several Cru vineyards at its disposal; Liste, Cannubi and Fossati. These vineyards are spread throughout the area and provide the best and typical Barolo styles. The Cannubi is the most famous and most praised Cru of Barolo and produces wines that can easily be 30 years old. Powerful wine with a maturation of 4 years in Slovenian oak barrels (6000 liters) after which the wine matures for another 6 months in the bottle. The Cannubi has a deep garnet red color in the glass with the typical roof tile orange tones. In the nose, the Borgogno Cannubi is full of scents of roses, herbs and dark fruit. Beautiful layers and very complex. In the mouth a full bodied wine, powerful with refined tannins. You have Barolo and you have the Borgogno Cannubi.
