This wine comes from the best grapes of Nebbiolo grown in the Langhe area, that give us an elegant and fragrant Nebbiolo. It ages in large oak barrels which enhance the elegance of Nebbiolo that after three years of ageing it will become No Name. I have chosen one of my best wine and I called it No Name as a quiet protest against the bureaucracy that afflicts Italian agriculture and the wine world.

In 2005 Borgogno submitted a cask sample of Barolo for routine evaluation by the regulatory commission who chose to deny the wine its DOCG status, not due to any glaring faults but because the wine was considered stylistically irregular for Barolo. Such was the ire of the 250 year old estate that in every vintage since Borgogno has chosen to voluntarily declassify a cask of their DOCG Barolo - drawn from the famed crus of Cannubi, Fossati and San Pietro - to Langhe Nebbiolo DOC status.

This bottle is wine made from the same vineyards as the other Borgogno Barolos, but aged for a minimum of 3 years while the other Barolos are aged for a minimum of 4. And, although the No Name is technically Barolo, they have kept it declassified and priced at less than double the price of a regular Borgogno Barolo.
