Boroli Barolo Cerequio

Boroli Barolo Cerequio

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
“This shows citrus rind and ripe red cherries in abundance, leading to an open-knit feel on the palate, which reflects the warmth of the vintage. Succulent finish, with plenty of bright, tangy red-fruit flavor.”
— James Suckling, Jun 2019
“Mid ruby. Interesting, finely spiced nose with a hint of gingerbread. Sweet fruit cut through by lots of tangy acidity. Lively and at the same time already a little developed. Great tannic bite on the finish. Can be approached now.” (16.5 out of 20 points)
— Jancis Robinson, Jun 2019
