Traminette is a relatively new grape variety, being bred in 1965 at the University of Illinois. It is a hybrid grape of Gewurztraminer and Joannes Seyve. Traminette is often described as a winter-hardy adaptation of Gewurztraminer, but lacking the strong perfume qualities. Traminette wines can be dry or slightly dry, but generally spicy and floral. Traminette is a hearty variety, able to withstand cold climates of the inland regions of the United States and where vines usually struggle to grow, such as New York, Virginia, and Indiana.

Boroli's Barolo is made by a special combination of careful grape selection, precise destemming, and long mascerations with submerged cap. The barrels used to age this wine are very carefully chosen by the winemaker.
Clear bright ruby color with very light garnet red reflections; intense and persistent aroma of red fruit with notes of plum and cherry. A pleasant aroma of wood is noticeable after the fruity aroma, anticipating the full taste of a great wine suitable for long lasting life. A succulent, rich, full-bodied and pleasant taste emerges after the woody one, with the presence of slightly ripe red fruit.
Barolo pairs perfectly with rich dishes such as roasted meats and pasta with truffles.
Review:
A relatively easy-drinking Barolo. Layered fruit on the nose with strawberries and red cherries, together with violets and some licorice. On the medium-bodied palate there’s a light frame of dusty tannins and a sense of freshness. Simple yet precise.

Dark plum in color with abundant aromas of dark chocolate, black cherry, and sun-ripened blackberry with a hint of cedar. Layered flavors of blackberry and raspberry pie filling, accompanied by notes of cinnamon, chocolate, and nutmeg play on the palate. Smooth and focused with refined tannins and a medium finish.
