Bright, intense garnet red with a pale rim. Opens with appealing ripe notes, of tree ripe plum and raspberry. Shows plenty of savoury, grippy tannin on the palate, pithy, ripe fruit notes, a bit rough on the finish

In The Cellar during the fermentation a constant work of pumping over is manually carried out; the maceration can last between 30 and 60 days according to the vintage and it is carried out in stainless steel (under a controlled temperature) with the technique of “submerged cap”. This technique consists in the closure of the superior part of a tank with oak boards placed in a parallel manner. Then, the steel tank is filled leaving the skins (“the cap”) submerged in the wine: this allows a very elegant passage of the noble substances contained in the skins. The malolactic fermentation and the aging are made in Austrian oak barrels of 30 HL not roasted in order to preserve perfumes and qualities typical of the native earth.

Boroli Brunella Barolo DOCG comes from one of Castiglione Falletto’s great monopole crus, a single hill completely encircling the Boroli winery at Cascina Brunella in the western sector of Villero. Planted to Nebbiolo on south and south-west facing clay-limestone soils with sandy streaks, this historic site has been recognised by name since the 1600s and is now the estate’s flagship expression. Hand-harvested fruit is vinified and aged in a mix of barrels and larger casks before further time in bottle, yielding Barolo with both drive and finesse and a track record for complexity and longevity. In bottle, Brunella typically shows vivid ruby colour with red cherry and wild berry, liquorice, spice, undergrowth and tobacco notes, fine but assertive tannins and a long, poised finish – a focused, savoury style that speaks clearly of site and will reward extended cellaring.
