Virna Borgogno Barbera d'Alba 'La' 2022'
Regular price €19,40The family-run Virna Borgogno, located in the heart of Barolo, combines centuries-old tradition with a contemporary approach to winemaking. Led by sisters Virna and Ivana, wines are made here with a clear signature: pure, balanced and true to the soul of Piemonte.
The Barbera for this cuvée comes from southwest and southeast facing vineyards, partly planted in 1978. After a soft pressing and a classic fermentation with skin contact, the wine matures for ten months in wooden and stainless steel barrels, followed by a good 3 months of bottle rest.
The result is an intense cherry red wine with aromas of ripe plums, violets and subtle hints of toast and spices. In the mouth this barbera is warm and soft in tannin, full and long in the finish, with a beautiful freshness that keeps it perfectly balanced.
A characterful red wine with an elegant character that goes wonderfully with rich pasta dishes, fried meat or mushrooms.
