The word benchmark gets thrown around a lot, but this Nebbiolo seldom fails to justify that status. Perhaps this should be no surprise given the vineyard it is drawn from goes by the name of Bricco Boschis. In particular, the lion’s share of the grapes are drawn from the Melera lieu-dit of the Boschis hill, which lies a little west of Vigna San Guiseppe and lower down the hill.
Cropped at yields below 40 hl/ha, the bunches were destemmed and went through spontaneous fermentation. Malolactic fermentation was in cement tanks during the spring following harvest. The wine aged for 18 months in Slavonian oak botti and was bottled unfiltered. Once again, here is an outstanding, engaging Nebbiolo that offers excellent value for money. As with all this grower’s wines, the longer it spends in the decanter or glass, the more it reveals.
