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
“The Cerequio cru’s pedigree is brilliantly showcased in this Barolo, as deep and fragrant aromas of black cherry, rose, baking spices and freshly turned earth captivate the senses. The polished palate offers supple textures, mouthfilling fruits, savory herbs and black tea notes. Fine yet firm tannins and vibrant acidity provide structure.” – (Cellar Selection) — Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2023
“A dense, tightly wound red marked by a mix of black cherry and menthol flavors. Shows adequate flesh midpalate, with mineral, eucalyptus and oak spice notes that chime in as this winds down on the finish.” — Wine Spectator, Nov 2023
