BOROLI Barolo Villero

Boroli Barolo Villero is a single-cru Barolo from one of Castiglione Falletto’s most prized south and south-west facing vineyards, a historic MGA renowned for giving Nebbiolo both depth and line. The Boroli family farm clay-limestone soils with good water-holding capacity here, harvesting by hand around mid-October and dividing the site into micro-parcels so that each block and ripeness zone can be vinified and aged separately before a final blend. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel with long submerged-cap maceration of up to 30 days, followed by at least 18 months in a mix of barriques and larger oak before extended time in bottle, building structure while keeping tannins smooth. In the glass, Villero typically shows bright ruby to garnet colour, persistent aromas of ripe red fruits, plum and cherry with floral and spicy notes, and a succulent, full-bodied palate with sweet, fine tannins and a deep, long finish, built to reveal its full potential over many years in the cellar.
