Barolo del Comune di Barolo DOCG 2017 - Virna Borgogno

The Barolo del Comune di Barolo DOCG by Virna Borgogno embodies the essence of Piedmont, crafted from carefully selected Nebbiolo grapes. This wine stands out for its elegance and power, a perfect balance that makes it irresistible. To the eye, the wine presents itself with an intense ruby red color. On the nose, you'll pick up notes of ripe red fruits, baking spices, and cedar. The palate is dense and solid, offering flavors of plum, clove, and sage. The aging in wood adds extraordinary complexity, enriching the olfactory profile with nuances of coffee and chocolate. Ideal for savoring on special occasions, it pairs wonderfully with red meats and aged cheeses.
