Wine Description

The Boroli family is a family of entrepreneurs, with roots in Piedmont dating back to 1831.  The family started their winemaking business in1997, when Silvano and Elena Boroli felt an ardent desire to step away from the pressures of their publishing business and reconnect to nature. They grew the company until their son, Achille, stepped in to run the wine-growing and production business in 2012.

With the 2012 grape harvest Achille decided to radically change the methods used in vineyards and wineries, aiming for the highest quality in Barolo and its crus. He cut production levels, updated the winemaking technology, and focused on low intervention methods to raise the quality of the Boroli wines be on par with the finest Barolo wines.

Acclaim
“Exotic and ripe red with terra cotta, ripe strawberry, rose petal and sandalwood. Full body, round and firm tannins and a flavorful finish. Fantastic 2014. Drink or hold.”
— James Suckling, Sep 2018
“The 2014 Barolo is a plump and juicy expression of Nebbiolo that drinks beautifully straight out of the gate. The bouquet is redolent of black fruit and sweet cherry with subtle additions of smoke, spice and grilled herb. This vintage is thinner in the mouth, but what it lacks in extract and power it makes up for with elegance and finesse. The wine is fermented with submerged caps for 20 days and later aged in barrique for 18 months. Some 14,648 bottles were produced. This wine offers great value from an accessible vintage.”
— Wine Advocate, Aug 2018
