picture of

A dense and enveloping red wine that immediately captivates, characterized by an aromatic blend of black cherry, dried rose, and shrubby shrub. Mineral notes, eucalyptus, and spice unfold on the finish.

climate

Barolo has a warm, maritime climate, characterized by warm, pleasant summers, cool, but rarely truly cold, winters, and relatively low rainfall. Summers in Barolo are pleasant, with average daily temperatures ranging between twenty-five and thirty degrees Celsius.

soil

Only a few producers have the honor of bottling Cerequio Cru. The vineyard extends across two opposing slopes, which together form a clearly recognizable amphitheater. The area is characterized by an exceptional microclimate, nicknamed the "Riviera delle Langhe" by the old guard. The vineyard is beautifully situated and enjoys constant ventilation, which keeps the grapes healthy. The soil is sandy, with plenty of moisture and clay. The wine quality is remarkably consistent: every year, the vineyard produces a great Barolo with ageing potential, thanks to its acidity and lively structure. Boroli's Barolo Cerequio embodies elegance and refinement.

vinification

The Barolo Cerequio harvest takes place in early October. The vineyards are divided into micro-plots based on the ripeness of the bunches. Harvests are carried out separately, always maintaining perfect uniformity of the grapes. This allows for the production of multiple cuvées per plot. This separation is maintained throughout the vinification and aging process. Fermentation of all the micro-cuvées takes place first in stainless steel tanks, followed by submerged maceration: the grape skins are kept submerged approximately 40–50 cm at a controlled temperature for a medium to long period, up to a maximum of 30 days. After a minimum of 18 months of aging in wood, the various micro-cuvées are expertly blended. The wine is bottled in June and July, where it remains until the following year before being released.
