Tasting Notes

The Boroli Langhe Nebbiolo 1661 reveals  black cherry confit or prune on initial examination. That first wave goes by quickly, and this young Nebbiolo comes together with nice precision by your second or third sip. It remains accessible and open-knit, however, with drying mineral on the close. This is a fun wine to drink with friends.

Perfect with savory dishes. The wine’s high acidity gives it the opportunity to match witha lot of salty foods, fried fishes, italian cuisine, asian spiceness.

About the Wine

The Langhe Nebbiolo is the pure expression of Nebbiolo: a fresh wine that conveys all the distinctive characteristics of the variety: fresh and pulpy fruit, intensity, and drinkability. A fun and convivial wine, to be enjoyed with friends while discovering a great grape variety expressed in its purest form.

The number on the label, 1661, in red, is a tribute to the farmers who have been cultivating the vineyards around the cellar for more than 4 centuries. It’s the date of a cadastral document that certifies Brunella as an area dedicated to the production of high-quality grapes for exceptional wines.

Winery Notes

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.
