Being slow in one’s actions means having the time to understand things better and do them the right way. Having the privilege to stop, slow down and question ourselves. Time is the secret ingredient, the most precious one, which cannot be bought, an integral part of the craft and farming world. Nature itself teaches us how important it is to give time to time, without haste. This is what Borgogno does, in their vineyards and with their wines, since 1761.
A century-old tradition begun by Cesare Borgogno in 1920 ensures that part of the wines from the best vintages are jealously kept in the cellars for at least twenty years.
The result is the acquisition of outstanding roundness and balance, with precious and multiple nuances of aroma. Thanks to this successful intuition, which has since become customary, the cellars continue to represent a rare historical memory of the Langa area to this day.
