The hills of La Morra are among the most representative in the Langhe. Here, Barolo does not seek to impress with brute force, but instead captivates with a grace unlike any other in Piedmont. The Boiolo cru is one of those small geographical gems that make this hillside so special. The soils here are of Tortonian origin, composed of bluish marls and sands that give Nebbiolo an almost whispered elegance. The Barolo DOCG appellation hardly needs an introduction, but it is worth remembering that we are here in the Olympus of the wine world. In particular, the Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva Boiolo certifies that the grapes come exclusively from this specific vineyard. It is a recognition that rewards the quality of the terroir, allowing wine lovers to distinguish the nuances from one hill to another. Naturally made from 100% Nebbiolo, for Boiolo the Revello family selects only the finest bunches to ensure that the character of the grape emerges without distortion. The result is a natural blend of power and elegance, where Nebbiolo’s typical structure meets the aromatic finesse of La Morra. The vineyards are located at an ideal altitude to preserve freshness and acidity. In the cellar, work is meticulous but never rushed. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, and the wine rests for 24 months in oak casks. The Revellos favour large oak barrels rather than small barriques. This technical choice allows the wine to breathe without the wood masking the grape’s natural aromas with overly intrusive notes. In the glass, Boiolo appears bright ruby red, enhanced by those garnet reflections that only time can provide. On the nose, it opens with ripe red cherry, followed by fresh hints of wild mint and a citrus note reminiscent of orange peel. On the palate it is incredibly harmonious. The tannins are present yet silky, perfectly integrated into the structure, leaving room for a long, spicy finish that never ceases to surprise. To be on the safe side, pair it with brasato al Barolo or, alternatively, tajarin pasta with white Alba truffle.
