WINE DESCRIPTION
Francesco Boschis Vigne in Pianezzo Dogliani is a distinguished Dolcetto, showcasing the depth and character of the Dogliani appellation. Crafted from 100% Dolcetto grapes, this wine hails from four small vineyards situated at elevations between 400 and 550 meters above sea level. The varied terrain ranges from calcareous to clay soils, with exposures from east to southwest, contributing to the wine’s complexity. Established by Francesco Boschis, the vineyards have been in place from 1985 to 2015, with the first vintage dating back to 1968. The winemaking process involves a week-long fermentation in red, followed by 8-10 months of aging in vitrified cement and stainless steel.
