Virna Borgogno, Barolo (Piedmont, Italy) 2008

Aug 20, 2012

By Michael Franz

 Every bit the equal of the superb Cannubi Boschis from this house, this wine shows many of the same savory qualities and then layers on even more minerality that is almost saline in character.  Deeply and persistently flavored, this is already highly expressive at this early stage of development.
