Description
Giacomo Borgogno Langhe No Name is a protest wine much loved by millennials, born with the initial idea of making a softer and more accessible Barolo. The result of this experiment, however, surprised many, giving the wine its own unique identity, unique in depth and charm, born from the best Nebbiolo vines of the Langhe. The concise name of this red is an invitation from Oscar Farinetti to reflect on the excessive bureaucracy that plagues the world of wine and Italian agriculture. This DOC Langhe Nebbiolo is born in Piedmont, in the cellar of Giacomo Borgogno e Figli. This name is closely linked to the history of Italy, as it was a Barolo from this company that was served, in 1861, at the lunch celebrating the Unification of Italy. Another of these bottles was uncorked by the Savoy in honor of the visit of Nicholas II Romanov, Tsar of all the Russias, on an official visit to Racconigi Castle. In 2008, the winery was acquired by the Farinetti family, who, in addition to carrying out a major renovation of the main building, also supported and embraced the company's tradition, continuing the path of innovation and excellence in Italian history. The Giacomo Borgogno Langhe No Name is a wine suitable for any occasion, made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes and vinified in a completely traditional way. Steel tanks are used and the wine is then left to mature for approximately three years in large oak barrels.

The winery has some interesting records: in 1861, Barolo Borgogno sealed the pact for the birth of Italian unity, and in 1908, it was served to the Tsar of all Russia during a visit to Racconigi.
The turning point came in 1920, when Cesare Borgogno began exporting abroad. However his greatest insight came when he decided to "forget" half of the production of Barolo Riserva in order to sell it 20 years later, realising the great versatility and power of Nebbiolo.
Borgogno is synonymous with slowness: the winery chooses to take its time understanding things and doing them correctly. The vineyards are cared for and attended to with only organic products.
This has resulted in the winery to gain their first Biological harvest.
The decision to plant forest on eight of their 39 hectars is to protect the biodiversity of the Langa fauna from being decimated by the cultivation of vineyards.
Borgogno has a sense of history, tradition, and roots that blend with the innovation of the changing times. Read more
