This site has been vinified separately by Luciano Sandrone since 1985, a decision that was instrumental in bringing the concept of single vineyard or "Cru" wines to the fore in Barolo. To be clear, Boschis is a particular terroir or vineyard within the Cannubi hill. The Boschis subzone sits near the northern end of the hill, and is located directly across the little valley from the Sandrone winery. The cru (of which Sandrone farm 1.9 hectares of 37 year old vines) has a particularly good exposure to the south and southeast in a small amphitheatre or "conca" that helps hold warmth in the early morning. Its soils are sea deposits of calcareous clay with good drainage. Highlighting the distinction in this terroir's wines from the rest of the Cannubi hill, Alessandro Masnaghetti's L'Enciclopedia delle Grandi Vigne del Barolo describes a Boschis wine thus, "The wines, in general, have good body, much elegance, and more polished tannins than other Cannubi wines."
