The Boroli family is relatively new to the world of wine, but has made important strides in a brief period of time. Achille Boroli has considerable passion, drive and attention for detail; all qualities that will serve him well as he continues to ratchet up quality. The estate's 2006 Barolo is a delicate, ethereal wine best suited to drinking over the next few years. Crushed flowers, anise and licorice add layers of complexity and nuance to the bright red fruit. This gracious, entry-level Barolo is a terrific effort from Boroli.

A beautifully poised, elegant wine held together with a fine tannic structure and vibrant acidity – all the hallmarks of this magical grape are in evidence. Still showing bright red and black fruits, the extra ageing has added secondary characters of tar, white flowers and a touch of warm leather. This is real Barolo at under £30 per bottle on the table.
