Barolo Riserva DOCG 2016 - Virna Borgogno

The Barolo Riserva DOCG by Virna Borgogno embodies the essence of Piedmont, an Italian region renowned for its winemaking excellence. Produced through traditional methods, this wine stands out for its complexity and depth. On the nose, it unveils a rich bouquet of ripe red fruits, spices, and a touch of cedar. On the palate, its solid structure offers notes of plum, clove, and sage, supported by well-structured tannins. The wood aging adds further nuances, making this wine an ideal candidate for aging. Perfect for special occasions, it pairs beautifully with red meat dishes and aged cheeses. A wine that not only delights the palate but also tells a story, that of Italian passion and craftsmanship.
