Cantina Francesco Borgogno is a family run wine estate that has been crafting wines from the Piedmont region since 1930. Today, Francesco Borgogno’s sons, Giancarlo and Claudio, direct the winery, flanked by Claudio’s wife Silvia. They make wine exclusively from their family owned vineyards located in the heart of prime Barolo and Langhe Nebbiolo territory.

We make wine produced exclusively from grapes coming from our own vineyards that lie in one of the best positions of La Morra: “cru” Brunate.

Our family has used its experience towards obtaining high quality wines while respecting tradition and environment fully.

Our work has always been based on few and simple production rules, keeping all the traditional passages that render our wines genuine and unchanged.

A Family Passion
The emotional attachment to this land and to these vineyards has been handed down from father to son. Today, Francesco Borgogno’s sons, Giancarlo and Claudio, direct the winery, flanked by Claudio’s wife Silvia.

Together they check every step in the production of their wine starting with the vineyards and following with the winemaking and the care of the cellar.

The Cellar
We own approx 7 hectars of land and we produce every year 35.000 bottles of wine always using classical method with ageing in big wood barrels without use of barriques.

Ageing
At the end of making process, wines will be moved in wood barrel for ageing in our underfloor cellar. Barrels are made with Slavonian Oak (30 or 50 hl). Dolcetto and the Favorita wine stay just in steel and not in wood. Barolo remains for 4 years in this wooden barrels, while Barbera and Nebbiolo remain between 6 and 8 months in wood barrel from 7 hl approx

Wine-making
The vinification is made under controlled temperature after the pressing of grapes. The process of fermentation and maceration are different for each type of wine and every step is followed from us with the help of expert of oenology Piero Ballario.
