The Land
The Barolo del Comune di La Morra is sourced from the family's vineyards within the commune of La Morra, in Barolo. The vines, grown on soils described as "loamy-clay" and low in organic matter, are located at elevations between 320 and 480 meters above sea level. The estate emphasizes the key role that soil plays in viticulture, and views the character of the wines as directly related to the unique terroir of this area.
The Wine
This Barolo is a pure expression of Nebbiolo from La Morra. It's made using only indigenous yeasts and sees a maceration with the skins that is followed by the old technique of “steccatura,” in which oak staves are manually inserted in the wooden vats to keep the skins submerged for a period of months after fermentation has finished. The wine is aged in a combination of large oak vats and smaller barrels, but with a clear focus on diminishing the influence of new oak. It is bottled unfiltered. The resulting wine offers a complex array of aromas, showcasing the typicity of the La Morra commune. Expect a focused structure, with fine tannins, and a long, layered finish with a core of red fruit and earth. The wine is intended to show a clear expression of its land of origin.
The People
Azienda Agricola Enzo Boglietti is a family-run winery deeply rooted in the traditions of Barolo. The estate was created in 1991 when Enzo, with the help of friends like Roberto Voerzio and Bartolo Mascarello, took the advice to stop selling his grapes and start bottling on his own, after a milk crisis made that option unsustainable. Enzo, along with his daughter Linda and son Matteo, are committed to producing high-quality wines that reflect the character of their vineyards. They follow the best principles of organic farming, and are proud to have received official certification. The family is clearly focused on allowing the terroirs of their vineyards to shine through in the wines they produce.

Piedmont, framed by the Alps in northwestern Italy, is a land of rolling hills and carefully cultivated vineyards. The continental climate, with its cold winters and warm summers, creates prime conditions for the Nebbiolo grape, which dominates much of the region's red wine production. The Langhe area is home to Barolo and Barbaresco, structured red wines known for their complex aromas, firm tannins, and aging potential. While Nebbiolo is the dominant grape of Piedmont, the region also makes interesting white wines like those from Arneis and Timorasso. Alto Piemonte is a separate region in the north with its own distinctive expressions of Nebbiolo, alongside other red grape varietals.
Piedmont
Nebbiolo, a prestigious grape from Italy's Piedmont region, is celebrated for its profound truffle and rose aromas, complex flavors, and ability to age gracefully thanks to strong acidity and tannins, producing the renowned Barolo and Barbaresco wines.
