Description
 

Made of 80% Nebbiolo and 20% Vespolina grew in the North of Piemonte, Boca DOC is an original expression of Nebbiolo. They are in Cavallirio, near Gattinara and Ghemme, in a hilly area dominated by the view of Monte Rosa. This Fabulous Boca is the essence of Sergio Barbaglia and his daughter Silvia's hard work. The grapes were grown on soils rich in minerals, giving the palate a distinct flavor and Character and ensuring longevity, Its personality is overflowing and strong. Nebbiolo is fermented for 30 days on the must in little stainless steel tanks by pushing the must down by hand. Aging in big barrels of Slavonian oak (28hl) for two years. Vespolina requires short fermentation (5 days) in open wooden barrels pushing down the must by hand. Aging one year in Tonneaux from Troncais and one year in a big wooden barrel of Slavonic oak.
Boca will delight you with its soft tannings, and unforgettable density, and finesse, which only get better over the years. Opening up slowly offers hints of spice, pomegranate, mint, and alpine herbs aroma. This unforgettable wine has an austere, robust, and balanced palate.

Enjoy this full-bodied wine with hard-aged cheese, grilled red meats, or a plate of salumi. Open this wine at least one hour before drinking. Salute

5 of 5 A Must Try June 28, 2017
Reviewer: Sebastian Warwick from Livermore, CA United States  
One of the best bottles of Nebbiolo based wines I have ever had, light radiant ruby red colored, a complex palate layered with ripe black cherries, pomegranate, silky smooth tannins and bright acidity
