Geological formation
The fossil sandy marls of Sant’Agata originate from a long settling process, as evidenced by the significant presence of silt and clay particles that, being lightweight, require calm waters to settle.
The ‘sandy‘ type is primarily focused in the central-southern part of the appellation, often forming a kind of transition zone between the typical fossil Sant’Agata marls and the sandstones of Diano, especially from the ridge that connects Castiglione Falletto to Monforte d’Alba. They are characterized by layers of sand interspersed with marly layers.
Brunella cru vineyards are a monopoly of Boroli.
Exposure
The exposure is complete, with plots facing South, East and West; the soil is calcareous clay, with a depth on the marl of 1/2 meter. The rootstock is Kober/S04, with a vine density of 4000-4500/ha and an age ranging from 6 to 40 years.

CEREQUIO

Geological formation
The Cerequio vineyard is an exceptional place in the ‘Riviera delle Langhe‘ with a favorable microclimate and sandy-clayey soil.
Here, Barolo Cerequio is produced, renowned for its consistency and aging potential due to its lively acidity and vibrant structure.
Sustainable agricultural practices, including crop rotation and natural fertilization, aim to obtain high-quality grapes.
Additionally, the soil contains Sant’Agata marls where silt and clay alternate with thin sedimentary layers that easily break down into laminates.
Exposure
The Barolo Cerequio vineyard is located in the municipality of Barolo and is positioned East-South/East, benefiting from abundant sun exposure. The soil is clay-limestone with veins of sand and Sant’Agata marl, with a depth of 1/1.5 meters to the underlying rock.

The planting density is 4300/ha, with Kober/SO4 rootstocks and vines about 30 years old.

VILLERO

Geological formation
The Barolo Villero grape variety has its origins in a complex geological formation in Piedmont, specifically in Castiglione Falletto. This geographical area represents a convergence point of different soils, composed of Sant’Agata marl, sand, loam, clay and limestone.
The soil is characterized by alternating layers of silt and contains plant residues, shells, and fossils. This unique geological combination imparts to Barolo Villero its robust structure, well-integrated tannins, and distinctive mineral and aromatic complexity, creating an ideal environment for the cultivation of the Nebbiolo grapes.
Exposure
The Barolo Villero vineyards face South-West for optimal grape ripening. The limestone-clay soil with marls at a depth of one meter provides nourishment and stability to the vine roots.
The Kober rootstock has been selected to optimize the growth of the vines, which have an average age of 35 years, and the planting density is 4500/ha.
