Boca DOC 2019 Le Piane

The Boca of the Le Piane winery comes from vineyards located in the extraordinary Boca DOC terroir, between Valsesia and Lake Orta, in the province of Novara. This area is known to benefit from the influences of the mild microclimate of the Prealps, which gives excellent ripening of the grapes.

It is mainly produced with Nebbiolo and Vespolina grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand. Fermentation on the skins takes place partly in barriques and partly in stainless steel tanks for 30 days, with manual punching down 1-2 times a day. Subsequently the wine ages in oak barrels for 3-4 years and for a further year in the bottle before being placed on the market.

It is characterized by an intense ruby red color, with purple reflections. The nose opens with elegant aromas of violet, enriched with pleasant hints of berries and pomegranate, with hints of licorice and tobacco. On the palate it is pleasantly complex, fascinating and with an elegant and powerful silk.

Perfect to accompany meat and game ragout, it is ideal in combination with roasts and aged cheeses.
