Barolo 2006, a wine that immediately catches the eye with its deep ruby color and intense aroma.
The structure is impressive, with well integrated tannins that give the wine a silky feel in the mouth.
Due to the swinging weather conditions, also the growing season alternated rapid development with relative stasis.
As far as Nebbiolo is concerned, vine-dressers who patiently waited for the most suitable period for the 2006 harvest were rewarded with healthy and excellent grapes for an Outstanding 2006 Barolo.
January was characterized by particularly difficult weather conditions, with peaks up to -10°C; on 26, 27 and 28 January there were particularly heavy snowfalls (50 cm.) followed by heavy rains. Therefore, the winter of 2006 was long and cold.
Weather became springlike only in April; and a very variable May was followed by a June that was cold at the beginning and then quite hot. Drought and torrid heat continued in July, while August temperatures fell due to cold North Atlantic currents and then rose to normal levels at the end of the month.
The first Autumn rain fell in mid-September followed by other rainfalls that did not damage the 2006 Barolo grapes since the soil easily absorbed water.
The Boroli cellars, located in Castiglione Falletto, are the perfect place to experience the magical territory of the Langhe through tasting experiences and to enjoy an unforgettable experience of discovery and great wine.
