About this wine
Bel Amì comes from a single parcel just a few paces from the Boroli cellar — limestone-rich soils, around 400 metres of altitude, and a name that translates roughly as 'dear friend'. Hand-harvested and sorted bunch by bunch, the grapes spend 24 to 48 hours in cold maceration to coax out aroma, then ferment in stainless steel before resting several months in oak. The wood is a whisper rather than a statement: enough to add weight and shape, never enough to mask the Chardonnay underneath. The Boroli family has worked Piemonte since 1831 and turned seriously to wine in 1997, with a quiet, low-yield philosophy that runs through everything they make.
Tasting notes
Pale straw shot through with green. The nose layers lemon zest, ripe apricot and a flicker of elderflower, with a faint nuttiness from the wood at the edge. The palate is balanced and gently textured — citrus brightness up front, orchard-fruit depth in the middle, and a discreet creamy thread that carries the finish without weighing it down. A Chardonnay that knows when to step back.
Food pairings
Vitello tonnato, Risotto with white truffle shavings, Roast chicken with herbs, Aged Castelmagno
