Raw power defines this Boca Nebbiolo. Dark cherry and forest floor combine with leather, mint and baking spices in a brooding, muscular frame. The structure feels jagged. Firm tannins need years to soften while the finish shows rustic intensity over finesse. This is mountain Nebbiolo at its most primitive and honest.

Le Piane
→Le Piane revived Boca from near-extinction, making some of northern Piedmont's most compelling Nebbiolo-based reds from old vines on volcanic, porphyry-rich soils above Lake Maggiore.
