THE STORY

Borgogno Rivata was founded in 2010 by brothers-in-law Alberto Borgogno and Massimo Rivata, bringing together two families with long agricultural roots. Based in La Morra, in the hills of Langhe and Roero, the winery remains a small family project closely connected to the surrounding landscape.

The family works around forty hectares in total, most of them dedicated to cereals, orchards and hazelnut trees, with roughly six hectares planted to vines.

THE VINEYARDS

The vineyards are split between La Morra in the Langhe and Guarene in Roero. Although the two areas are close geographically, their soils differ significantly: La Morra is shaped by marl and clay, while Guarene marks the transition towards Roero’s sandier soils.

This contrast allows the family to work with a broad range of local grapes, including Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Pelaverga, alongside white varieties such as Arneis and Favorita.

IN THE CELLAR

The aim in the cellar is to keep the character of each grape and site clearly visible rather than pushing every wine towards the same style. The vineyards are managed with grass between the rows and careful attention to the condition of both the soils and vines.

The resulting range moves from fresh, easy-drinking whites and Barbera to more structured Nebbiolo and Barolo, offering different expressions of Langhe and Roero within one small family estate.
