Consists of Nebbiolo (85%) and Vespolina grapes. This wine requires full maturity and is treated in the barrel for 3 to 4 years, and can then be stored for decades. The mineral composition of the porphyritic soil together with the characteristic structures of the Nebbiolo grapes allow “Boca” to become a full, expressive wine. Its flavour reminds one of well-matured forest fruits, violets, tobacco and dried herbs with hints of balsam and citrus fruits. Power and a silky elegance will develop in the mouth, fascinating and playful, with a slightly noble and bitter final note. The vast complexity of taste allows one to discover new facets over and over again. Our Boca can mature and refine in bottles for up to 10-20 years.
Aging potential 10-20 years.
Average production: 10’000-15’000 bottles.
Alcohol: 12.5-14.0% Vol., Total Acidity 5.4-6.5 g/l
First year of production: 1998
Le Piane Boca 2016 1.5L
One of the great Nebbiolo-based wines from the often overlooked regions of Boca. This wine compares favorably to Barolo at double the price. An elegant and beautiful “must-have” for any Italian wine lover.
