Dolcetto

Borgogno Francesco, a family-run estate in the Barolo region, has been producing wine since the early 20th century. This Dolcetto comes from vineyards around the village of Barolo, farmed organically on calcareous-marly soils in the heart of the Langhe. Francesco Borgogno works with a respectful, hands-on approach, giving the same care to Dolcetto that others reserve for Nebbiolo. Fermented naturally and aged in steel, the wine keeps a fresh, direct character meant for the everyday table. A sincere expression of a grape that has long been part of daily life in the Langhe, made with humility and conviction.

Borgogno Francesco

Rooted at the meeting point of Cannubi and Brunate hills in Barolo, this family estate was born in the 1930s and traces its soul even further back to Bartolomeo Borgogno in the 18th century. Today, guided by Francesco's sons and granddaughter—Giancarlo, Claudio, and Silvia—the vineyards still yield Nebbiolo from the calcareous-marl of Brunate, hand-tended at 350 m above sea level. In the cellar, tradition reigns: long macerations, and patient ageing in enormous oak casks. The result is a Barolo that is timeless, elegant, and resolute.
