Marchesi di Barolo

Marchesi di Barolo was and is still a Winery which has always been awarded for the excellence of its wines an often mentioned by the national press and media. The production is widespread in the main countries with free market and western life style. The distribution, like every other aspect of the supply chain, is well cared for: customers are selected on the basis of demanding quality requirements. The domestic market accounts for approximately 40% of production and is covered by a network of agents that are very well coordinated and introduced in the traditional food service industry. Export mainly consists of a network of national importers, coordinated by a manager, and structured with its own sales network.

The company is certainly one of the architects of the important tourist flow that has been developed over the last few years. To accommodate the more than 40,000 wine tourists that annually visit Barolo, the Company has created, ​​in the complex of buildings overlying the Historic Wineries, a large and functional reception area: a wine bar with the possibility of wine tasting, also accompanied by the tasting of food specialties, of which the Langhe area is particularly rich and famous for, an inner store where wine lovers can find all that surrounds and enriches the world of wine, accessories, literature, images of the wine–growing region and many useful ideas even for those who, of this passion, have done their job.

Sandrone Luciano

Luciano Sandrone Company is dedicated to the production of Nebbiolo in the areas of Barolo and Roero with the highest levels of quality. Each bottle of wine by Sandrone, made ​​with the same careful attention to traditional craftsmanship, is supported by modern techniques and work by hand.

The three Nebbiolo bottlings are unique and reflect the perfect combination of terroir, vineyards and the Sandrone winery. They are three distinct expressions of a single vision and the purpose, and each is the result of an interaction between nature and a careful vinification. None of these wines is inferior to its brothers in any way. Valmaggiore has an amazing bouquet, elegance and sophistication in a relatively light structure, so characteristic of Roero. Barolo Cannubi Boschis is the perfect expression of a good exposure, and pureness, concentrated fruit and tannins. Barolo Le Vigne pays homage to the historically significant style of the wine blend, through its complex and layered structure that unfolds with patience and concentration.

The aim of Sandrone is to produce wines that reflect the history of the culture and the winemaking traditions of Barolo and Roero, while incorporating the best and most appropriate modern technology to make balanced wines, ageworthy in their single variety feature, elegance and harmony.

Azienda Agricola Rinaldi Giuseppe

In this beautiful and characteristic house, located just outside the village of Barolo, along the road that leads to Monforte, the tradition and the modern history of Barolo are at home. This, thanks to both the work of the current owner, Giuseppe Rinaldi, for everyone, more simply, Citrico (Critic), a veterinary devoted to viticulture and oenology, an extraordinary storyteller and considered by everyone one of the most original, smart and especially free minds of the Langa of Barolo, and, above all, thanks to the figure and the work of the person that preceded Beppe in the management of the company: his father, Battista Rinaldi.

It was him, whose moral rectitude and the severity have become legendary, to make this company one of the brands of reference of the classic Barolo, taking over the company in 1947, at age 29, following the death of his father arrived in Barolo from Diano d’Alba and buyer, along with Barale, of the I Palas farm by a farmer of the Falletti family.

He graduated with honors at the School of Enology in Alba, Battista Rinaldi, who was also appreciated the Mayor of Barolo from 1970 to 1975 who, during his administration period, made the Castle of Barolo become municipal property, and firstly the seat of the municipal winehouse, then of “Enoteca Regionale del Barolo”, of which he became the first president. He had the good fortune, and the burden, because dealing with large vineyards is never easy and requires a true spirit of service to the Land, to inherit a few hectares in terroir of particular value like Brunate, Le Coste, Ravera and Cannubi San Lorenzo. The grapes are vinified in different ways: Brunate in single variety, to be used in a special reserve kept for ten years in the cellar in bottles before being poured into bottles by seven tenths, the other three to compose, according to the most authentic historical traditions of Barolo, a calibrated blending.
Joined the company to support, with a well–known critical attitude about many things, his father, Beppe Rinaldi leads the winery today (waiting that his eldest daughter Marta, born in 1985, takes over the company, once finished the wine school Alba and discusses, herself too, with Beppe), with the same traditional and classic footprint, free from any modernism, changing things only the two preparations of Barolo. Since 1993, no more a Barolo based on vitages and a Brunate reserve, but two pairs of blendings of different grapes always by the 4 hectares of vineyards of historic properties: on the one hand, Brunate and Le Coste (10,000 bottles) and on the other hand, in the second but not less important wine, Cannubi San Lorenzo and Ravera (from vineyards in Novello), produced in 3,500 bottles.

Identical and classic vinification with long maceration on the skins, and fining, which of course was never touched by the temptation to be make it in small vats, but in large Slavonian oak casks dear to the history and the identity of Barolo. Wine is not meant to be consumed young, but has all the features, in terms of tannic structure, acidity and freshness, as well as aromatic elegance, to defy time.

The range of wines complemented by a Langhe Nebbiolo wine (100% Nebbiolo of course), from the Langhe Freisa, Dolcetto d&rsuqo;Alba, Barbera d’Alba, and a table wine called Rosae (produced with a grape variety, perhaps originating in Burgundy, land that Beppe Rinaldi knows and loves, called Rouch).

Giacomo Borgogno e Figli

The name Borgogno is tied to one of the oldest wineries in Piedmont: it was founded in 1761 with Bartolomeo Borgogno. In 1848 it became the supplier of the College for the sons of the officers of the Racconigi Savoy Army with the first written document on legal paper, still jealously preserved, demonstrating the company’s activity, and that will have a crucial importance in recent history. Since then, the high quality of the products offered, which makes the name Borgogno increasingly known and appreciated. A proof of this is the choice of its Barolo, in 1861, for an official lunch of celebration of the Unity of Italy, and in 1886 for the banquet in honor of Nicholas II Romanov Tsar of all the Russias, host of the Savoy, on an official visit to the Castle of Racconigi.



The 20s

At the beginning of the 20s, under the direction of Cesare Borgogno, the Borgogno wine sales started to expand also beyond national borders; but at the end of the Second World War there was the real development with the acquisition of some of the most important overseas markets, such as Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela and, especially, the United States of America, and with a further consolidation of its position in Europe.



From the 50s to today

After the complete renovation of the wineries, which took place between 1954 and 1959, Cesare Borgogno started in 1967 a new program of transformation in the arrangement of the Company, that took the current name of Giacomo Borgnogno & Sons. On the death of Cesare Borgogno, the management passed to his grandchildren Ida and Franco Boschis (and subsequently to their children Cesare and Giorgio), until then their good collaborators. Today, the Giacomo Borgogno & Sons is an evolved company that, thanks to a centuries–old experience, combines tradition and technological innovation in a good relationship, enough to ensure the consistent achievement of a high quality in their products.



In 2008, the Borgogno Giacomo & Sons was acquired by the Farinetti family, that ended in 2009 a noteworthy renovation of the main building.
