Virna Barolo Cannubi 2019

Cannubi is one of Barolo’s most historic and celebrated crus — known for producing elegant, complex, and deeply expressive Nebbiolo.
Virna Borgogno’s Barolo Cannubi 2019 comes from these iconic slopes and reflects both power and refinement. The wine is traditionally vinified and aged for at least 24 months in oak barrels, giving it structure, depth, and long ageing potential.
