Wine Description

The Boroli family is a family of entrepreneurs, with roots in Piedmont dating back to 1831. Silvano and Elena Boroli started their winemaking business in 1997. They 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.

Acclaim
“Aromas of cedar with flowers and dried strawberries following through to medium body. Fine tannins and a fresh, solid finish. Balanced and bright. Drink now.”
— James Suckling, Sep 2018
“The 2014 Barolo Villero moves over the palate with fine and smooth intensity. The wine releases elegant aromas of wild cherry, rose hip, mild spice and grilled herb along the way. Keeping in line with the classic characteristics of the vintage, the wine is compact in terms of mouthfeel and lean in build and structure. It sees 28 days of submerged cap fermentation and later ages in barrique for 18 months. Only 4,978 bottles were made.”
— Wine Advocate, Aug 2018
