Le Piane Maggiorina 2019

Boca, Italy

WineSaint
Savory herbs and crushed violets lead, followed by ripe black fruit and earthy undertones. The Nebbiolo/Croatina blend shows excellent structure. Firm tannins provide backbone while vibrant acidity drives the finish. Complex and cerebral, this rewards careful attention as it opens in the glass. Drink 2024-2034.

→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.
