Virna Borgogno graduated in 1991 from the oenology school in Alba, and only 10 years later founded the estate that she runs with sister Ivana and her husband, Giovanni Abrigo, a producer in Barbaresco. Their Cannubi Boschis vines are roughly 45 years old, and the Barolo is made with short 10-day macerations on the skins at relatively high temperatures (30&deg;C is common). The classic Barolo is instead a blend of two vineyards from Novello (Merli and Sottocastello), which means it is a more rigid, austere wine with good ageworthiness. This is an up-and coming estate that has a tasting room right in the Barolo town centre, so it&rsquo;s easy to visit.

Paolo Basso 
Balsamic notes of eucalyptus, anise, vanilla and sweet spices. Rich, full bodied, with an expressive and savoury deep character. Very long persistency.

&nbsp;

Ian D&rsquo;Agata 
Clean, fresh, but also rich and ripe red fruit. Real density and long, with silky tannins. Great balance.

&nbsp;

Michael Garner 
Intriguing nose of prunes, chocolate and cinnamon. Ripe, fleshy and juicy, but with good balance. Understated structure with hugely impressive length and definition.
