The grapes of Boca are harvested by hand. After a gentle crushing and destemming, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature. The wine undergoes aging for 3-4 years in wooden barrels.
Tasting Notes
Boca from Le Piane is ruby red with garnet reflections. On the nose, notes of ripe red fruits emerge with tertiary hints of pepper, cardamom, chinotto, licorice, and tobacco. On the palate, power and the elegance of silk come together in a fascinating play, finishing with a long and slightly bitter aftertaste.
Food and Wine Pairing
Boca from Le Piane is perfect to pair with dishes based on red meat or game: in particular, it pairs perfectly with pappardelle with hare sauce.
