Boroli Barolo Brunella
Wine Description
Brunella is a prestigious Cru of Barolo exclusively owned by the Boroli family. The vineyard is located in the territory of Castiglione Falletto, situated in the land at the westernmost point of the ridge facing the town. The name “Brunella” is unique and has identified this place for over 450 years.
It’s one of the oldest names in the Langhe region indicating a well-defined area dedicated to viticulture. Typically, most areas that precisely designate vineyards occupy a specific hillside, while Brunella extends over the entire oval-shaped hill on a descending stretch of land. Nebbiolo vines form an elongated ring around the hill. Barolo Brunella represents the ultimate expression of Achille Boroli’s vision of Barolo. It is the flagship wine of Boroli.

About the Vineyard
Brunella is one of the most historic single vineyard sites of all of Castiglione Falletto, however it hasn’t ever been bottled singularly under the Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva BRUNELLA until 2013. The Brunella vineyard occupies the western crest of the Villero hillside and complete surrounds the Boroli winery. The vineyard is a monopole—owned entirely by Boroli and is the most prestigious wine in the lineup. As it occupies the best exposed section of the Villero hillside, La Brunella expresses power, drive, complexity, and extraordinary length and ageability.
