Bovio's expression of Barbaresco, the sister appellation to Barolo made from 100% Nebbiolo in the zone around the villages of Barbaresco, Neive, Treiso and San Rocco Seno d'Elvio. Intense ruby red in color, with fresh aromas of dried fruit and leather typical of the appellation.
A rare foray outside Barolo for Bovio — expect the same terroir-driven honesty, in a softer, more immediately drinkable frame.
