Giacomo Borgogno e Figli is a winery located in Piedmont , northwestern Italy . The company was founded by Bartolomeo Borgogno in 1761. Borgogno is famous for its practice of storing wines for more than a decade before offering them for sale: Cesare Borgogno began this signature policy when he took management in the 1920s. In 2008 the estate was sold to the Farinetti family . The winery is located in the center of the town of Barolo , with cellars dug into the hillside. Borgogno uses traditional winemaking methods, including indigenous yeasts, long fermentations and the use of large oak barrels from Slavonia.

Fermentation is spontaneous in large concrete vats and lasts 12 days. This is followed by gentle pressing and aging in large oak barrels for 10 months . The wine is aged for an additional 4 months in the bottle .
