2019 Virna Borgogno Nebbiolo Langhe DOC "IL"

這款來自Langhe山坡的年輕酒款，前段明亮的紅果與乾玫瑰香引人入勝，接著浮現些許礦土、菸草與皮革的成熟氛圍。口感中段酸度鮮明、單寧細緻但有支撐，整體節奏優雅而不沉重。酒莊由Virna接手家族工作，重視田間管理與低干預釀造：嚴選果實、長時間浸皮提取結構，並以大木桶或中性容器熟成，保留香氣純淨與土地感。葡萄園位於石灰質與黏土交錯的斜坡，排水良好且朝向有利日照，賦予這支酒清晰的酸度和礦物輪廓。建議醒酒一小時以上，適合搭配烤羊、菇類燉飯或熟成硬奶酪，入口有層次的果香與悠長的尾韻。

Bright and poised, this Langhe bottling opens with a lift of red cherry, dried rose petal and a hint of tar, then reveals leather, tobacco and savory herb notes. Medium-bodied with taut acidity and fine-grained tannins, the palate shows stony minerality and a lingering, slightly spicy finish. The wine comes from a small family operation in the Langhe hills, run by Virna — continuing a household tradition focused on expressing site and balance. Grapes are handled with a respectful, traditional approach: careful sorting, extended maceration to extract mature structure, and ageing in large neutral casks to preserve aromatic clarity. Vineyards sit on well-drained calcareous-clay soils with good exposure, giving lively acidity and mineral definition. Serve after a generous decant to allow perfume and texture to emerge; pairs wonderfully with roasted lamb, earthy risottos and cured meats.

Winery

維爾納的酒莊屬於家族小作坊，現由Virna（Lodovico的女兒）接棒經營。酒莊講求田間的細緻管理與低干預釀造：果園分級、手工篩選、溫和浸皮與適度熟成，偏好用大型或中性容器保存天然香氣與土地感，產量不大但重質感與可飲性的表現。

Virna Borgogno is a family-run estate in the Langhe region, now led by Virna, daughter of Lodovico. The cellar philosophy emphasizes traditional, low-intervention winemaking, careful vineyard work and ageing choices that highlight site expression rather than oak-driven character. Production is focused and artisanal, aiming for balance and clarity.
