"This wine is being rereleased to the market following a 30-year absence, and I know that the Borgogno family is especially excited to have it back. The Virna 2020 Barbaresco Montersino comes from a vineyard site that straddles the towns of Alba and Treiso. The Montersino shows nice balance, especially in terms of its intensity, which is marked but also finessed. The tannins are silky, and the wine ends on a pretty dry note with lingering blue flower and violet." - Robert Parker
"This is spiced and chocolaty with ripe red berries and plum skins as well as tree bark and a little bit of tar. Medium- to full-bodied with a broad tannin structure yet it’s velvety and round. The tannins are melted into the wine giving more volume to the fruit, whilst still keeping a firm backbone. Very attractive and well-crafted. Lingering finish." - James Suckling
