Boca
Boca DOC
70% Nebbiolo, 20% Vespolina, 10% Uva Rara
The northern Piedmont has many exciting regions, styles, and grape varieties. Nebbiolo in the blend brings comparisons of Barbaresco but the Vespolina grape expresses a strong floral spice with anise and rich raspberry. Less dense than Barolo or Barbaresco, Boca is a captivating wine with an energetic palate, ample acidity, and tannin that matures with time.
POINTS OF INTEREST
Fermented with native yeast, and aged in large Slavonian oak barrels, the wine sees a minimum of 4 years aging after the harvest. Sourced from the top of an ancient supervolcano, the soil compositions come from deep within the earth. The vineyard is within the protected area of the Val Grande National Park and is farmed organically at high elevations.
