About this wine
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 softer, earlier-drinking alternative to Barolo from the same Nebbiolo grape.
Sommelier's Note
"A rare foray outside Barolo for Bovio — expect the same terroir-driven honesty, in a softer, more immediately drinkable frame."
Food Pairings
Roast pheasant, veal Milanese, or mature Taleggio cheese.
