Gabutti di Boasso Franco
ガブッティ・ディ・ボアッソ・フランコ
Authentic, structured Barolo from the prestigious Gabutti cru in Serralunga d'Alba.
A family-run Barolo estate based in Serralunga d'Alba, founded in the early 1970s by Franco Boasso and today run by his sons Ezio and Claudio. The winery farms roughly 7 hectares across the celebrated MGA vineyards of Gabutti, Margheria, and Meriame. Winemaking follows traditional Serralunga methods — extended maceration (around 15 days for Barolo Serralunga, with a further 15 days of submerged-cap maceration for the Gabutti and Margheria crus) and aging in large Slavonian oak casks — producing powerfully structured, age-worthy Barolo with a distinct sense of place. The family also runs the agriturismo "I Grappoli" among the vines.
