Boroli Barolo di Castiglione Falletto 2019

A unique wine, because only 4,400 bottles of this top-quality Barolo are made, and we only receive a few. A truly unique piece of craftsmanship, in our opinion. Boroli works with passion and dedication to its territory in the Langhe region. The Nebbiolo vineyards owned by the company are located in two characteristic municipalities: Castiglione Falletto (Cascina la Brunella) and Barolo (Borgata Cerequio). All Barolo production and aging processes are concentrated in the winery's vinification and aging facilities at Cascina la Brunella, in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto. When we think of wine, we think of tradition, terroir, research, and the dedication of winemakers. Producing wine means telling a story. Each bottle has its own identity of flavors and aromas, but the quality of a wine is not enough without a story, a clear image of cultural heritage, places, cellars, and people. The Barolo from Castiglione Falletto has a story. The idea of ​​producing a Barolo wine from the Castiglione Falletto terroir arose after years of study in the vineyards carried out by the Boroli estate.

The old vineyard of Boroli

Through the vineyard and critical observation of the plots, certain areas were identified that, due to environmental and cultural factors, were better suited to express the unique characteristics of the terroir and the production of Barolo from Castiglione Falletto. At the heart of this wine lies a desire: to convey the unique character of the territory, making it recognizable to all Barolo lovers. But there's more. After conducting extensive research in the town's historical archives, the Boroli family discovered a document attesting to the existence of Collina Brunella since 1624. Or rather, it reveals the connection between the Brunella vineyards and the inhabitants of Castiglione Falletto. The wine produced by Cascina La Brunella was sold to the locals. This tradition has lasted for over 400 years and is now continued by the Boroli family. The Langhe region is renowned worldwide for its production of quality wines and valuable delicacies and products. Here in Castiglione Falletto, the passion for wine and the art of viticulture have been passed down through generations, keeping traditions alive and preserving a priceless oenological heritage. The vineyards of Castiglione Falletto, in particular, are renowned for the production of Barolo wine, known as the "king of wines." The limestone-rich soil and the privileged location of the vineyards provide favorable conditions for producing exceptionally high-quality Barolo, characterized by intense aromas and a complex structure.
