Boroli

Barolo Cerequio

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. Silvano and Elena 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.

Tasting Notes

A clear bright ruby color with very light garnet red reflections; intense and persistent aroma of red fruit with notes of plum and cherry. A succulent, rich, full-bodied and pleasant taste emerges, with the presence of slightly ripe red fruit.

Food Pairing

Thanks to its body, Barolo is the ideal wine to pair with elaborate dishes and dishes like pasta with porcini mushrooms, and aged cheeses. Cerequio is also perfect with dry pastries or chocolate.
