An intricate weaving of different terroirs combine to create ‘Noi”. Elevage of this Barolo takes place in large oak casks. Embodies both the terroir and our own understanding of this wine: elegant and powerful, providing great excitement. Intense ruby red with garnet highlights; full, intense nose, tertiary notes with red fruit leading vanilla, cocoa and spices. Full-flavoured with balanced, supple tannins.
Aromas of sage, sliced plums, black cherries and aromatic herbs. The palate is firm with upfront fruit and a polished yet imposing tannin structure. Attractive freshness. This should evolve into a very pleasant Barolo.
This is a blend of fruit from La Morra (Rocche dell'Annunziata), Monforte d'Alba (San Giovanni and Perno) and Novello (Cerviano Merli and Sottocastello di Novello). The spirit of the wine is to find a vintage-appropriate blend that shows the house style. The Virna Borgogno 2021 Barolo Noi offers aromas of dark fruit, rusty nail, tobacco and pressed flowers. It ends on a savory note and delivers tight tannins that are a few years off from full resolution.
