Boca, “il rosso delle donne”

The flagship of the estate, the Boca is 75% Nebbiolo, 20% Vespolina, and 5% Uva Rara.  Spontaneous fermentation takes place in steel cuve and the three varieties are vinified separately. They are assembled prior to barrel aging, which lasts at three years in both 500L “botti” and a variety of larger formats, with no batonnage.  No sulphur is added at any stage until a minimal dose at bottling.  In 1996, the Conti sisters added the name ‘il rosso delle donne’ to add their mark to the family tradition.
