The Virna Borgogno Barolo Noi 2016 is a striking representation of its Monforte d’Alba terroir, where the unique clay and limestone soils impart a distinctive elegance to the wine. Scoring 93 points, this Barolo captivates with its complex bouquet of dark cherries, dried roses, and a hint of earthy truffle. On the palate, it reveals layers of ripe red fruit, balanced by fine tannins and a refreshing acidity that leads to a long, savory finish. Ideal for pairing with rich dishes like osso buco or a hearty mushroom risotto, this wine not only delights the senses but also stands out as a smart buy for its quality, especially considering its original retail price of $58.
