A rustic and delicious Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo blend (apparently 70% Nebbiolo, 20% Vespolina, 10% Uva Rara, but nothing stated on the bottle). My Piemonte fans loved it, but not sure this would wow the masses. Similar to a Barbaresco, or Langhe Rosso, but higher-toned notes and tobacco/leather notes. Can't wait to try more from these gals.

Lean, mean and racy. Decanting helped round this one out.

I think this is the first Boca wine I've had. Well structured and very friendly to Italian Sunday gravy with friends. Thanks Nate!

The smallest DOC in Piedmont. A treasure from the Rosenthal book! Dried leaves, tea and rose petals
