Note di degustazione
85% Nebbiolo, plus Vespolina. Four years in big old barrels. Light bricky red. Pure, refined Nebbiolo nose of non-sweet red fruit, a hint of spice and leather. Wild and scented on the palate. Tightly furled still, with so much youthful energy and a long life ahead. Sour-fresh fruits on the finish, pure and wild and alpine in character. Tannins are extremely fine and dry. (JH)

The 2017 Boca is delicate and understated, almost surprisingly so given the dry, warm year. Crushed rose petal, white pepper, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco lend aromatic brilliance to this weightless, wonderfully expressive wine. The Le Piane Boca has a track record of aging exquisitely. I bet that will be the case here as well. I recently opened the 2006, as I wanted to drink a slightly mature wine from the estate. Well, I was way off, as the 2006 is still very, very young!
