Le Piane Boca 2017
Boca DOC has several types of grapes; the Re Nebbiolo (85%), which finds its excellence in this area. The Vespolina (15%) also accompanies the King in its ageing even as a close relative. Vespolina is a very difficult grape to grow, being sensitive to damp weather and diseases, often with low yields, but this does not make us stop growing it because it gives our wines a great spiciness, a little fat, flowers that make us think of honey and supports without covering the structure of Nebbiolo.

Bouquet

A rich bouquet of red fruits awakens the nostrils, offering mineral touches typical of the soil from which it originates. Seductive blackberries and delicious currants give life to a perfect marriage that enhances a sweet and fleeting hint of liquorice on the finish.

Flavour

It evokes perfection, expressing an almost unattainable depth that evokes freshness and minerality.

Pairing

Second courses of white meat, roasted meats or game enhance this wine
