Boroli Barolo Del Comune Di Castiglione Falletto

Boroli Barolo Del Comune Di Castiglione Falletto

Wine Description

The idea of a Barolo representing Castiglione’s terroir comes from a specific work that Boroli carried out in the vineyards, dividing them by parcels and studying the plots most suitable for long aging and those most suitable for approachable wines. 

Only specific parcels are chosen to produce this Barolo, in order to revive, in the bottle, the true character of the region, using the parcels which are the best expression of the village and its terroir.

Acclaim
“An elegant, intense red, with mint and underbrush flavors augmenting the cherry and strawberry fruit. Reveals mineral and tobacco accents as this plays out on the finish. Offers fine balance and length, if a bit reticent now.” — Wine Spectator, Nov 2023
“Here's a new submission from Boroli with fruit sourced from across one hectare of vines with typical sandstone and marl soils. The 2019 Barolo del Comune di Castiglione Falletto has a clearly defined bouquet thanks to chiseled notes of crushed stone, blackcurrant and chopped mint. This wine offers more dimension and depth thanks to those pretty mineral and medicinal notes.”
— Wine Advocate, Aug 2023
