Locanda Del Pilone

Having always lived in Italy’s Piedmont region, Achille Boroli developed an early appreciation for the traditions of cuisine and winemaking. Fascination grew into passion, even inspiring him to found his own winery. His Michelin-starred restaurant, Locanda del Pilone, offers guests an outstanding view and a unique wine cellar featuring some of Krug’s finest creations.

A talk with Achille Boroli

I have the best job in the world.

What makes you happy?

I feel I have the best job in the world, making people smile and helping them free their minds. Then when I get home, it makes me happy to see my children smile.

What has life taught you?

In business, we have faced some hard situations, but tough times made us stronger and more decisive. I learnt to never give up and always keep pursuing absolute quality. I also believe you should not be afraid to take risks, because changes can be a source of inspiration.

Why do you love Krug?

I love Krug and believe it is the best Champagne in the world. Krug has always accompanied the most important moments of my life.
