Details

Profumo

Perfume

It has a clear, classic nose with notes of wood tar, spicy spices and a fruit strongly resembling black cherries in alcohol; the end is accompanied by the slightest hint of very delicate roses and violets.

Colore

Color

It has a ruby-red colour, not too dark, with garnet reflections.

Gusto

Taste

The mouth reflects these notes, with burnt wood and ash that lead to a sweet and syrupy taste of raspberry and cherry; the tannins are dense and ripe, bearing the vitality and exuberance given by this land. The same tannins lead to an evolution of aromas, which guarantee their very long maintenance over time.

Serve at:

18 - 20 °C.

Longevity:

Over 25 years

Decanting time:

1 hour

Full Bodied and Very Aged Red Wines

The Boasso farm was founded immediately after the war in the 1950s after Giuseppe returned from World War II to resume managing his lands. The farm worked with different types of crops, typical of the Piedmont of the past: vines, hazelnuts, fields, meadows and a small number of livestock: everything necessary to maintain and provide for family needs.
