Virna di Borgogno
Lodovico Borgogno’s family lives and works here in Barolo, on their "Borgognot" estate. The family has owned vineyards in Barolo since 1720, and have always attached particular importance to the work carried out in the vineyards themselves and the selection of only the best grapes. The passion for these hills carried over to Lodovico’s daughter, Virna, who today works alongside her father in every step of the production, with a sole objective: to constantly uphold and enhance the quality of Barolo and their other wines by highlighting their innermost nuances. The estate’s wines are produced from grapes grown on its 20 acres located in historic Barolo "crus": Cannubi Boschis, Preda, Sarmassa, I Merli, San Giovanni, and Costa delle Rose. Tradition and technology come together in the winery under the watchful eye of Virna and her husband Gianni Abrigo, both specialized in both the growing of vines and the making of wines. Together they also run a farm - Azienda Agricola Orlando Abrigo - in the village of Treiso, where Barbaresco is produced. The entire process, from the vine to the glass, is followed with scrupulous attention to detail in order to provide genuine wines of outstanding value.
