What you can expect

  • The Virna winery has been producing the famous wines of the Langhe for three generations. Today, the winery is run by sisters Ivana and Virna Borgogno; Virna was the first woman in Italy to earn the title of Oenologist. The wines respect the territory and express a feminine touch in the purity and elegance of the Nebbiolo grape variety. We'll take you to learn about the winemaking process and to visit the ageing cellars with the famous oak barrels where Barolo matures for at least 18 months. You can also visit the bottle-aging room and see a collection of historic Barolo bottles dating back to the 1960s. Later, in the brick-vaulted tasting room, you can taste 4 different Barolos that express the various terroirs: Barolo MGA Cannubi, Barolo MGA Sarmassa, Barolo DOCG NOI and Barolo from the municipality of Barolo. We'll show you the official map of Barolo and explain the history of the area and the differences in the characteristics of the soils that give rise to this extraordinary wine. This is not a typical tourist tour: you will discover the most hidden aspects, and we will take you on a guided tasting experience that will enrich your visit. You can buy your favourite wines and go home full of information and entertaining anecdotes.
