Producer:
Grape Variety:
100% Nebbiolo
Tasting Note:
This wine represents a blend of fruit from four villages: Monforte d'Alba (the San Giovanni vineyard); La Morra (Berri and Boiolo); Verduno (Castagni); and Novello (Cerviano Merli and Sottocastello di Novello). The Virna 2016 Barolo Noi is a dark and expressive wine with an exuberant level of fruit. This blended Barolo is plush and round, or vitally void of the tannic astringency you see in some of its peers. A 20,000-bottle release, this is the quintessential medium-term Barolo to enjoy with grilled pork or lamb chops.
Vinification:
Virna Borgogno owns 12 hectares and produces 65,000 bottles of fine wine using Biodynamic Viticulture. Her great grandfather, Lodovico Borgogno owns the land since 1720
