Claudio Boggione
クラウディオ・ボッジョーネ
Tiny cult Barolo from 70-year-old vines in the legendary Brunate cru.
Claudio Boggione is a tiny, largely unknown family estate whose cellar sits just behind the Cannubi hill in the Barolo commune, yet whose single wine comes entirely from the celebrated Brunate cru that straddles Barolo and La Morra. Founded by grandfather Antonio and later run by uncle Armando, the property spent decades selling its grapes to local négociants before Claudio took over in 2006 and began organic farming and estate bottling; since 2008 he has run it together with his father Franco. From roughly one to one and a half hectares of 70-year-old vines, the family produces only about 6,000 to 8,000 bottles a year of Barolo Brunate, fermented with indigenous yeasts, macerated for 15 to 30 days, and aged over two years in large old Slavonian and French oak botti before bottling unfined and unfiltered. With almost no formal distribution, the wine circulates mostly among collectors and sommeliers in the know, making it one of the most sought-after insider bottlings from La Morra's most storied vineyard.
