The wine
Fantastic Nebbiolo from Boggione. His first of the young plantings under the Brunate cru. Baby Barolo this one, with fleshy tannins and lots of ripe fruit such as cherries and plums. Great with meat dishes and aged cheeses. Very beautiful!

CLAUDIO BOGGIONE
Boggione is one of those finds that you don't make every year. Hidden behind the Cannubi vineyard in Barolo is a tiny winery that produces 6000 bottles of amazing Barolo per year. For generations, the Boggione family has been growing grapes on the Brunate and Cannubi vineyards, of which only the former is still owned by the Boggione's today. Claudio is a cheerful Barolo winegrower, no fuss, roll up your sleeves and work. Like his parents did and before that his grandparents. Time has stood still, in the small office there are trophies from one or another competition won, an Alpini hat with matching feather hangs on the cupboard, certificates of prizes won with his wine proudly hang on the wall. Nonna hoes through the hallway, a wooden ceiling and a barking truffle dog outside. This is Barolo at its best.
Claudio owns one and a half hectares in the far south-eastern part of this famous cru and has been producing approximately 6,000 bottles of fantastic Barolo under his own label since 2006. We work completely organically and in a traditional manner with a maturation of 24 months on both Slavonian and French oak botte.
