About this wine
Boasso Giancarlo's Dogliani DOCG, made from 100% Dolcetto as required by the appellation's regulations. Dogliani DOCG is generally bolder and more structured than Dolcetto d'Alba, with deeper color, riper black fruit, and firmer tannins, reflecting the warmer growing conditions of the Dogliani zone southwest of Alba.
A step up from everyday Dolcetto d'Alba — riper, fuller-bodied, but still approachable and food-friendly.
Sommelier's Note
"Dogliani shows what Dolcetto can do when it's taken seriously — more muscle and depth than its everyday Dolcetto d'Alba cousin."
Food Pairings

When to drink it

バローロ
Barolo
RedNebbiolo
The flagship Barolo DOCG from Boasso Giancarlo, a small family estate in Castiglione Falletto — one of the five historic Barolo communes, known for producing wines that balance the power of Serralunga with the perfume of La Morra. Made from 100% Nebbiolo grown around the estate's home vineyards, the wine follows Barolo DOCG's mandatory minimum aging of 38 months, including at least 18 months in wood, resulting in the tar-and-roses aromatics and firm, structured tannins typical of the appellation.
ドルチェット・ダルバ
Dolcetto d'Alba
RedDolcetto
An everyday red from Boasso Giancarlo made from 100% Dolcetto grown around Castiglione Falletto. Dolcetto d'Alba DOC is the traditional 'Tuesday-to-Friday' wine of the Langhe — soft, low in acidity relative to Nebbiolo and Barbera, with dark cherry and plum fruit and a characteristic bitter almond note on the finish. Vinified in steel to preserve its fresh, fruity character.
バルベーラ・ダルバ
Barbera d'Alba
RedBarbera
Boasso Giancarlo's Barbera d'Alba DOC, made from 100% Barbera grown around Castiglione Falletto. Barbera is Piedmont's workhorse grape, prized for its deep ruby color, low tannin, and vivid acidity that makes it exceptionally versatile at the table — a fresher, more food-driven counterpoint to the estate's Nebbiolo-based wines.
ランゲ・ネッビオーロ
Langhe Nebbiolo
RedNebbiolo
Boasso Giancarlo's Langhe Nebbiolo DOC offers an earlier-drinking, more approachable expression of the same Nebbiolo grape used for the estate's Barolo. Without Barolo's long mandatory aging requirements, it shows the variety's signature rose and tar aromatics and firm acidity in a lighter, fresher package — often considered the 'baby Barolo' of a producer's range.
