Boroli
Boroli is a family-owned Barolo estate based at Cascina La Brunella in Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Langhe. The Boroli family, Piedmontese entrepreneurs since 1831 with roots in textiles and publishing, began winemaking in the 1990s under Silvano and Elena Boroli. Since 2001 their son Achille Boroli has led the estate, radically overhauling vineyard and cellar practices from the 2012 harvest onward - cutting yields, adopting low-intervention winemaking, and green harvesting to concentrate quality. Boroli farms plots across three historic Barolo communes: Castiglione Falletto (the monopole Brunella vineyard, documented since the 1600s), Barolo (Borgata Cerequio) and La Morra (Cascina Sorello), producing structured, terroir-driven Nebbiolo wines guided by Achille's philosophy of 'quality with no compromises.'

Cascina Bongiovanni
Founded in 1950 by Giovanni Bongiovanni, this small family estate sits in the heart of Castiglione Falletto, one of Barolo's most prestigious communes. Today the winery is run by his grandson Davide Mozzone, together with his wife Marina and children Luca and Sara, who tend roughly 6.5-7 hectares of vineyard mostly by hand. The estate follows organic principles with biodynamic nuances, such as the use of green manure, though it is not officially certified. Arneis, Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo round out the range, but Barolo is the true protagonist, most notably the single-vineyard Pernanno, sourced from the estate's cru plot in Castiglione Falletto with small parcels also in Diano d'Alba and Serralunga d'Alba. Pernanno has drawn strong scores from James Suckling, Wine Spectator and Vinous, prized for its balance of grip and freshness.
