The History

In 1761 Bartolomeo Borgogno establishes the winery.

Cesare Borgogno takes over management of the winery, changing its fortunes. He begins exporting the wines abroad, to Argentina, Europe and the United States. He has the great intuition to forget half of the production of Barolo Riserva in the cellar, selling it only twenty years later.

In 2008 the Farinetti family acquires the winery, firmly committed to strictly following traditions. In 2010, Andrea Farinetti, after graduating from the oenological school in Alba, takes over the company’s leadership as heir to the Boschis family’s legacy.

A couple of big changes occur: the beginning of the conversion to organic practices, and the purchase of 3 ha of vineyards in the Tortona area for the production of Timorasso.

In 2016 Borgogno begin an important renovation of the historical cellars in Barolo, restoring old concrete fermenters and refurbishing other production facilities. Furthermore, 11 ha of vineyards in one of the best locations near Alba, Madonna di Como, are added to the existing 20 ha owned by Borgogno.
