Il Rosso dell Donne Boca Nebbiolo Blend

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.

Aran had this 11 years ago

2005 Cantine del Castello de Conti 'Il Rosso delle Donne' Boca - decant for an hour and have with pork sausages. Or hold for another 5 yrs easily. #electric #acidity #nebbiolo #vespolina #uvarara #piedmont #boca #toosoon #letitage

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

Dried fall potpourri. Wish it had a little more fruit

Great saturated red color, wet granite, stone, mineral - hints of herbaceous spearmint, tar, roses - in a great place now and will improve for 5+? years.... Hard to find but I will find some....2009 vintage

Tasting better and better each time tried. Open and approachable. Great with roasted pork tonight

Even better than the last bottle!

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