Virna Borgogno - Barolo 'Noi' 2017

The Borgogno family's holdings have been in Barolo for over a century, encompassing about 12 hectares of vineyards in some of the region's most prestigious crus: Cannubi Boschis, Preda, Sarmassa, I Merli, San Giovanni, and Costa delle Rose. The "Noi" (meaning "we/us" in Italian) is a blend of grapes from these vineyards, serving as an expression of all the Barolo terroirs cultivated by Virna Borgogno. While some French oak is used at the winery, this particular bottling is primarily aged in traditional Slovenian botti grandi, allowing the pure character of the Nebbiolo grape to shine.   Crafted by Virna Borgogno, a trailblazing winemaker who seamlessly blends generations of family tradition with modern expertise, this Barolo embodies the essence of Piedmont with a contemporary flair. The vineyards, planted between 1970 and 1990, are perched at elevations ranging from 280 to 350 meters, basking in southeast and southwest exposures—because even vines appreciate a good sunrise and sunset.
