Boroli Barolo

Boroli Barolo

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. 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 be on par with the finest Barolo wines.

Acclaim
“A mix of juniper, cherry, currant, oak spice and sweet tobacco flavors mingle in this sleek red. Bright and well defined, with pointed tannins marking the finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Nov 2021
“The classic Boroli 2016 Barolo shows an open-knit personality with dark fruit, dried cherry and cassis. Beyond that primary fruit, this wine offers a good amount of oak toast in the form of exotic spice and campfire ash. The wine delivers a modern or flashy approach with extra softness and textural richness brought about by the oak. This is a great medium-term Barolo to drink with an elegant dish of guinea hen or quail with a gamey reduction sauce.”
— Wine Advocate, Jul 2020
