Boroli Barolo Cru Cerequio 2012 750 ML

The rapid ascent of this new, small, family-run winery, consisting of Cascina Bompe vineyard in Alba and La Brunella in Barolo?s Castiglione Falletto, is in part due to their consultant, noted enologist Beppe Caviola, Gambero Rosso?s ?Winemaker of the Year? in 2002. Achille Boroli handles all of the winery?s daily operations. Cascina Bompe, 3 miles from Alba, at approximately 1,270 feet above sea level, is on top of a hill called Madonna di Como that has been historically documented as a centuries-old wine-growing site. La Brunella has a separate, newly completed winery beautifully designed by one of the Boroli sons, Guido. This estate includes two of Italy?s most prestigious Barolo vineyards: Villero and Cerequio Crus. A new cellar features an arresting design element: the external walls above ground are clad in oak staves from barriques previously used in Barolo production.
