| The
village of Barolo is placed in the heart of the Langhe, the most prestigious wine-area in
Piedmont. Its origin is very old but its name appeared for the first time in a document
dated 1200. Barolo is situated in a valley surrounded by beautiful and harmonious hills
covered by vineyards that origin the great wine Barolo. Its between these hills and these
vineyards that, around 1720, Borgogno’s family sat the farm called “BORGOGNOT”.

was already the owner of some vineyards in Barolo. In 1950 Lodovico Borgogno, actual owner,
introduced new methods of work looking for top quality results in the vineyards, in the
production of wines and in their marketing.

of the wine “Barolo” and of the other wines of this area, trying to put in result all their
characteristics through which you could discover the thousand secrets of our land.
