Descrizione

Harvested in mid-October through a meticulous manual process, the grapes are placed in perforated baskets to be transported to the cellar. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks thermoregulated at 28°C, with frequent daily pumping over for a total period of 15-20 days. Subsequently, the wine matures in new oak barrels for a period of 3 years. Without undergoing any filtration operation, the wine continues to perfect in the bottle.

Barolo has a suggestive intense ruby color, shaded by garnet reflections. Its olfactory profile is complex and enveloping, characterized by nuances of fruit and spices. In the mouth, this wine manages to beautifully combine the richness of its structure with a surprising ease of drinking. The finish is long and satisfying, warmed by excellent alcoholic strength. A true sensorial delight, with notes of sour cherry and mint.

Winery history

The family estate was founded in the immediate post‑war period, and from the 1970s the Boasso family began vinifying part of their grapes rather than selling them. The farmhouse and cellar have been progressively renovated; since 2010 the estate has added an agriturismo to welcome visitors and tourists interested in the Langhe. Today the estate is run by Franco and his sons Ezio and Claudio, who manage the vineyards and hospitality.

Production philosophy

Production focused on expressing the terroir and the traditions of the Langhe: traditional winemaking with long macerations, aging in large casks, and careful attention to grape quality for structured wines suitable for aging.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards located in the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba. Typical Langhe soils that provide structure and longevity to the wines, particularly the Baroli produced by the winery.
