Place: Langhe - Piedmont, Italy
Variety: Nebbiolo
Farming: Organic
Borgogno, Barolo’s oldest winery, produces traditionally made, organically certified wines with spontaneous fermentations and long ageing in large Slavonian oak, reflecting vintage character while maintaining a consistent, time-honoured house style.
Every vintage, Borgogno makes a wine that could be released as Barolo but they deliberately downgrade to Langhe Nebbiolo DOC status and call it No Name. This is all because in 2005, a cask sample of Barolo sent for routine evaluation by the regulatory commission turned it down - not due to any glaring faults but because the wine was considered stylistically irregular for Barolo.
