Boroli Nebbiolo 1661

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
“Exuding red cherry, strawberry, currant and floral flavors, this red is vibrant and juicy, with terrific harmony and structure. Long and lingers, with echoes of fruit and a mineral element.” — Wine Spectator, Nov 2023
“This evocative wine opens with aromas of fresh cherries, rosebud, thyme and mixed spices. Polished and almost pristine on the palate, the purity of red berried fruit is sublime. Fine tannins give grip but never detract from the openness of fruit, herbs, earth and minerality.” – (Editors’ Choice) — Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2023
