Virna Borgogno Barolo DOCG 2022

A 2022 Barolo DOCG from Virna Borgogno, made from Nebbiolo grown in the Merli and Sottocastello vineyards in the small commune of Novello. Fermentation includes 10-12 days of maceration on the skins, followed by two years of ageing in Slavonian oak casks. It is an austere, rich Barolo. In the glass it is a light ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose shows red fruits, vanilla and cocoa. The palate is full-bodied, with lively tannins and an acidic vein, and the finish is persistent, with fruity and spicy notes.
