Obtained from Nebbiolo grapes grown in Barolo and Novello vineyards. Aged in oak barrels as long as necessary according to the vintage. A really great full – bodied wine, complex and seductive on the nose, rich and soft on the palate. It is full of character and vigour, yet delicate, elegant, harmonious, with hints of wood and almonds and clear-cut tannins. A wine for cellaring, but also great to drink when released.

Boroli Barolo Cerequio comes from one of La Morra’s most historic crus, a natural amphitheatre of Nebbiolo known for its warm, sheltered aspect and long reputation for producing refined, ageworthy Barolo. The Boroli family source fruit from premium parcels in this “Riviera delle Langhe” hillside, where clay-limestone soils with sandy veins and constant ventilation give ripe but balanced grapes with natural freshness. In the cellar, carefully selected bunches are destemmed and given a long maceration with submerged cap, before maturation in oak to shape structure while preserving site detail. In bottle, Cerequio typically shows clear ruby colour, bright cherry and strawberry, floral notes such as camomile and rose, and hints of spice, cedar and liquorice, wrapped in firm yet polished tannins and a long, savoury finish. This is Boroli’s La Morra statement: Barolo of poise and fragrance that drinks well in its first decade yet has the backbone to evolve gracefully in the cellar.

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.

This is Ciabot Berton's signature wine and a blend of 3 great Cru vineyards, creating a complex alluring wine with aromas of leather, tar and roses. The palate is powerful with rich dark fruit. Typical of the 2007 vintage, it is a Barolo that is stunning now due to its elegance, but will continue to cellar very well.
