From Boroli's holding in the celebrated Cerequio vineyard, in the municipality of Barolo, at around 300 meters altitude with a south/south-east exposure nicknamed the 'Langhe Riviera' for its exceptional microclimate. Cerequio is regarded as one of the greatest historic crus of Barolo, and Boroli's version shows dried flowers, red cherry, licorice and moist earth, with a medium-bodied palate of finely polished tannins, fresh red fruit, citrus and a mineral character reminiscent of crushed limestone.
Cerequio is Barolo's 'Riviera' — Boroli captures its sun-soaked elegance with a Nebbiolo that's as perfumed as it is powerful.
New to wine?
A more perfumed, elegant expression of Barolo than Villero — approachable aromatics with serious tannic backbone.
