Boroli Barolo Brunella 2019
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
The Boroli family is a family of entrepreneurs, with roots in Piedmont dating back to 1831. The
family started their winemaking business in1997, when Silvano and Elena Boroli felt an ardent
desire to step away from the pressures of their publishing business and reconnect to nature.
Silvano and Elena grew the company until their son, Achille, stepped in to run the wine-growing
and production business in 2012.
With the 2012 grape harvest Achille decided to radically change the methods used in vineyards
and wineries, aiming for the highest quality in Barolo and its crus. He cut production levels,
updated the winemaking technology, and focused on low intervention methods to raise the
quality of the Boroli wines be on par with the finest Barolo wines.
Brunella is one of the most historic single vineyard sites of all of Castiglione Falletto, however it
hasn’t ever been bottled singularly under the Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva BRUNELLA until
2013. The Brunella vineyard occupies the western crest of the Villero hillside and complete
surrounds the Boroli winery. The vineyard is a monopole—owned entirely by Boroli and is the
most prestigious wine in the lineup. As it occupies the best exposed section of the Villero
hillside, La Brunella expresses power, drive, complexity, and extraordinary length and
ageability.
Brunella is distinguished by a careful selection of grapes, perfect destemming, long macerations
with submerged cap. The barrels for Brunella are specifically chosen by the winemaker.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
A clear ruby red color, with very light orange reflections. A net aroma in which liquorice stands
out at first, immediately followed by a fruity scent; the aroma makes you scent it again and
again to discover different and pleasant facets. The fruity aroma magnificently prevails after a
few minutes in the glass. A very enveloping, fresh and harmonious taste, with a delicate and
tasty presence of wood. A long lasting taste that invites to sip it slowly again and again.
