THE PRODUCER
Borgogno, one of the oldest wineries in Piedmont dating back to 1761 with
Bartholomew Borgogno, boasts a rich history intertwined with significant
milestones. Notably, in 1861, Barolo Borgogno played a role in the birth of
Italian unity, while in 1908, it graced the table of the Tsar of all Russia
during a visit to Racconigi. The turning point occurred in 1920 when Cesare
Borgogno initiated foreign exports, later realizing the potential of aging
Barolo Riserva for 20 years.

Embodying a philosophy of deliberation and precision, Borgogno meticulously
tends to its vineyards with organic products, leading to its first Biological
harvest. With an ethos of preserving biodiversity, Borgogno dedicates a portion
of its land to forestation. This blend of historical reverence, traditional
methods, and innovative practices defines Borgogno's identity in the evolving
landscape of winemaking.

CRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
