Vinous
The 2017 Boca is delicate and understated, almost surprisingly so given the dry, warm year. Crushed rose petal, white pepper, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco lend aromatic brilliance to this weightless, wonderfully expressive wine. The Le Piane Boca has a track record of aging exquisitely. I bet that will be the case here as well. I recently opened the 2006, as I wanted to drink a slightly mature wine from the estate. Well, I was way off, as the 2006 is still very, very young!
Notes
Le Piane Boca is a distinctive red wine from the Boca DOC in the northern Piedmont region, made primarily from Nebbiolo and Vespolina grapes. Known for its structure, complexity, and aging potential, this wine offers aromas of red berries, spice, and earthy mineral notes. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with firm tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, balanced finish. The volcanic soils and high-altitude vineyards lend a unique minerality, making this an ideal pairing with roasts, game, or aged cheeses.
