Boroli's 2008 Barolo is the product of a very tough vintage. The estate's parcels in Cerequio and Villero - which are usually bottled separately - were both victims of hail. Boroli ultimately decided to blend the best of their fruit into a single bottling. For that effort, Boroli has been rewarded with a gorgeous wine endowed with serious weight. Licorice, tobacco, smoke and camphor are some of the notes that are layered into this expressive, nuanced Barolo. Intense layers of flavor build to a rich, powerful finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023. Importer: Dalla Terra, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 259-5405
