| Notes |
The late vinification of these raisins was a must due to the very high acidity of the vine, which also makes it particularly suitable for use in grapes destined for sparkling wine making. From the early 2000s the Boschera began to be vinified also in purity, thanks to the evolution in winemaking techniques. |
