The estate
Borgogno is one of the oldest producers in the Langhe area and the Piedmont region and is a key reference among fine Italian wines. Founded in 1761, the Borgogno estate enjoyed a major international growth in the 1920s, under the impetus of Cesare Borgogno. The Farinetti family acquired the estate in 2008. Andrea Farinetti has been at the helm of the estate since 2010.
