The Wine
The classic blend Barolo from Boasso comes from the quantitatively smaller plantings on cru vineyards Lazzarito, Cerrati and Meriama. The Serralunga blend from Boasso is in every way a full-fledged Barolo wine. Dark ruby red in the glass. Earthy aroma of forest floor, cherries and old leather. Full and grand in the mouth.

FRANCO BOASSO
A seemingly endless winding road takes you past various postcard-worthy views through the hamlet of Parafada towards Gabutti, the home base of the Boassos, a winery that has gained enormously in quality in recent years. Namesake and winegrower Franco, together with his sons Ezio and Claudio, has managed to raise his Barolos to a higher level. Certainly helped by the fact that these come from the famous vineyards Gabutti, Margheria and Lazzarito. For years important crus in Serralunga. In addition to the red wines, they carry a beautiful Arneis from a beautifully situated vineyard in the Roero and a Moscati d'Asti from Serralunga.
In addition to the 30,000-bottle wine-producing cantina, the family runs an agriturismo, which, like his private home, is located between the two vineyards Gabutti and Gabutti-Marianot, a stone's throw from Serralunga.
The Boasso winery has been working in the traditional way since they started bottling under their own label, which means a long period of maceration and fermentation and a maturation of at least 36 months in large wooden barrels (botte). We are the only importer in the Netherlands to import the wines of this beautiful family business and we are proud of that. In addition to the Barolo, they also produce a delicious Dolcetto, Barbera Superiore and Langhe Nebbiolo as well as a real Arneis from the Roero region and a Moscato d'Asti from a field in Serralunga (!)
