Boroli Barolo Villero
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.
