The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Originally from the Langhe region, the Boroli family has turned its passion for local wines into a thriving estate renowned worldwide. Since 2000, Achille Boroli has been fully dedicated to the winery, crafting benchmark Barolo wines that showcase the essence of its prestigious terroirs.
Wine Aged in oak for just under two years, the 2018 Red Barolo keeps the focus on its fruit, offering a smooth and elegant style rather than a heavy, intense one. It has a silky texture with flavours of ripe cherries and stone fruits. Well-structured yet refined, with fine tannins, it’s a classic Barolo that will continue to develop beautifully over the next three years. Rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested. Traditional vinification. Aged for 2 years in casks.
