ABOUT THIS WINE
The Borgogno No Name is a 100% Nebbiolo from the Langhe DOC in Piedmont, Italy. Its designation as 'No Name' is a deliberate choice by Giacomo Borgogno & Figli to express a stance against Italian wine bureaucracy, as the grapes are sourced from vineyards that could qualify for Barolo DOCG. The producer, Giacomo Borgogno & Figli, has a long and distinguished history in winemaking, with traditions dating back to 1761. Their vineyards are situated in four highly regarded Barolo crus: Cannubi, Fossati, Liste, and San Pietro. The wine is produced using organic and biodynamic viticultural practices.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Borgogno No Name undergoes fermentation in large concrete tanks for about 15 days, employing natural yeasts. Following fermentation, a soft pressing is conducted. The wine is then aged for over two years in large Slavonian oak barrels. The viticultural practices employed are organic and biodynamic.
