Packaged with a black label, the Boroli 2018 Barolo Brunella (with only 2,000 bottles made) sources its fruit from beautiful Castiglione Falletto at the heart of the appellation. Specifically, the grapes come from a 2.8-hectare parcel with clay calcareous soils at a breezy 380 meters in elevation. Like the Villero (that is also from Castiglione Falletto), this wine has no issue with intensity or clarity of aromas. That's saying a lot in a rather subdued vintage such as 2018. Instead, you get bright cherry, spice and even a hint of fragrant cedarwood. The wine's structure is solid and polished.

Rich, evoking rose, cherry and strawberry aromas and flavors. Charming and balanced, this firms up nicely on the fruit- and tobacco-tinged finish. Elegant and should provide early enjoyment. Best from 2024 through 2038. 600 cases made, 130 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
