Tasting Notes: One of the most notable producers of Boca is Le Piane. They started making wine in 1998 when the Boca wine region was almost completely abandoned. It has been their mission to cultivate and revitalize the region. These wines age gracefully and have notes of well-matured wood berries, tobacco, and leather with hints of balsamic and citrus fruits. A powerful wine that develops on the palate and has a beautiful finish.
Estate History: Boca is a historic wine region in Piedmont that was nearly abandoned until Christoph Künzli recognized its potential and started the Le Piane winery in the late 1990's. Le Piane focuses on producing wines from the Nebbiolo grape variety, blended with small amounts of Vespolina and Bonarda. They are known for their production of high-quality wines, particularly the Boca DOC, which is the flagship wine. These wines are known for their elegance, complexity, and age-worthiness.
