Red
Boca
By Barbaglia, Alto Piemonte, Piemonte, Italy
Boca DOC red, 13% vol; the shop lists the 2020 vintage. The producer's page describes the denomination as a Nebbiolo-based blend with Vespolina and Uva rara and the mineral porphyry soils of the area.
Tasting notes
The Boca D.O.C. reveals a garnet red color, with complex aromas of dried roses, red cherry, and earthy undertones, complemented by a hint of black pepper. On the palate, it is bold and structured, with firm tannins and a long, savory finish. [Profiles: bold, dry, tannic, complex, structured, spicy]
