フランチェスコ・ボスキス
A historic, family-run estate with prestigious parcels in the legendary Cannubi vineyard.
Francesco Boschis is a historic family-run winery based in Dogliani, Piedmont, with a legacy dating back to 1919 and estate bottling starting in 1968. While primarily renowned for their exceptional, high-altitude Dolcetto di Dogliani, the estate also holds a prestigious parcel in the legendary Cannubi vineyard of Barolo. Their approach emphasizes traditional, organic-leaning viticulture and minimal intervention, producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Langhe region. The estate is currently managed by Mario Boschis and his family, who maintain a focus on quality and authenticity. Note: Francesco Boschis is a distinct, unrelated winery from E. Pira & Figli (Chiara Boschis), another Barolo producer that shares the Boschis surname.
