Borgogno Rivata

Borgogno Rivata is a small family farm in Regione Cerreto, on the La Morra side of the Langhe, founded in 2010 when the Borgogno and Rivata families merged their holdings. Wine is only part of the operation: local profiles describe roughly 40 hectares of mixed agriculture - cereals, orchards, vegetables - with 5 to 6 hectares of vines (the figure varies by profile) split between La Morra and Guarene on the Roero side, and a total output of around 10,000 bottles a year. The cellar is a converted family building that once stored agricultural machinery.

The range runs from Langhe Arneis through Barbera d'Alba, Langhe Nebbiolo and a varietal Pelaverga Langhe Rosso up to Barolo. Giovanni Mingolla has been the winemaker since 2018, per US importer Amuninni Vini, which also links the family to the Lotti Sparsi negociant side project. Farming is low-intervention with no certification claimed, and sources describe it differently: the estate's langhe.net profile speaks of integrated pest management without herbicides, while the US importer says the vines see no chemicals.

Despite the name, the estate has no connection to Giacomo Borgogno, the historic Barolo house.
