Description:

The Virna 2017 Barolo Noi represents a blend of fruit from four villages: Monforte d'Alba (the San Giovanni vineyard), La Morra (Berri and Boiolo), Verduno (Castagni) and Novello (Cerviano Merli and Sottocastello di Novello). "Noi" means "us" in Italian. Drawing its fruit from so many different sites, this 20,000-bottle production reveals a terrific sense of balance and brightness. Having those many elements to work with was especially important in a vintage like 2017 that saw spring frost followed by scorching summer temperatures. This wine manages to work it all out.  Wine Advocate 93
