The vineyards of Boroli
The climate
The Langhe region (Piedmont) has a temperate continental climate:
Summer: Warm and dry, allowing grapes to fully ripen.
Spring: Rainy, replenishing water reserves.
Autumn: Cool nights and sunny days promote the aromatic ripening
of the grapes.
These climatic conditions are ideal for the late ripening of the Nebbiolo grape, which is essential for Barolo wines.
The terroir
Boroli’s terroir is diverse and contributes to the complexity of their wines.
Soil: The vineyards are planted on clay-limestone soils with a touch of sand, providing excellent drainage and mineral richness in the wines. Location: The vineyards have varied exposures (east, west, and southwest), contributing to balanced grape ripening. Density: The vineyards are planted at a density of approximately 4,000 vines per hectare, resulting in low yields and concentrated grapes.
Winemaking in Piedmont
Boroli focuses on producing Barolo wines of the highest quality through a careful and sustainable approach to viticulture. This begins with green harvesting, where excess grapes are removed to increase the concentration of flavors in the remaining fruit.
During harvest, a strict grape selection is applied, ensuring that only the best grapes are used in winemaking, contributing to the optimal quality of the wines. Additionally, Boroli employs sustainable practices, minimizing the use of chemicals and promoting biodiversity in the vineyards. This approach ensures that the wines not only reflect the unique expression of the terroir but also have the potential to age beautifully.
