Very deep ruby ??red. Concentrated aromas of great intensity with hints of blackberry and blueberry. Full-bodied, soft, slightly tannic with pleasant acidity and long finish;
Pair with red meat and game.

Wine Spectator
Ripe flavors of blackberry, plum, spice and carob mark this rich, concentrated red. The dense tannins are well-integrated on the finish. Drink now through 2023.

In the little-visited township of Dogliani (located a few kilometers south of Barolo), Dolcetto is king. Nebbiolo is not suited to the terrain, and few choose the challenge of making a living from Dolcetto and Barbera alone.
The Boschis family has been producing wine on their family property since 1919, but only began bottling their own juice in 1968. Plantings are at 1800 feet high, about 650-1000 feet higher than those in Barolo and Barbaresco, resulting in a powerfully enhanced bouquet; old vines (40-60 years) result in richly complex and ageworthy wines.
