Podere ai Valloni - Boca DOC - Vigna Cristiana - 2020
The Podere's top, top cuvee. Organic grapes are harvested with the elimination of bunches and berries that aren't perfect. After the pressing, the fermentation is activated with indigenous yeasts with the pied de cuve method and then continues for approximately 20 days. Subsequently the wine is decanted into barrels and then subjected to annual decanting to eliminate the lees. Boca Vigna Cristiana, aged for three years in oak barrels, is then refined in the bottle for at least 12 months. The color is an intense garnet. The nose is complex with notes of macerated cherry, tobacco, spice, cedar and blood orange. The tannins are firm and very persistant. Outstanding Nebbiolo!
