Wine Expert Note:
Le Piane Boca is a prestigious Italian wine that hails from the Boca region in Piedmont. This wine is made primarily from the Nebbiolo grape variety, also known as Spanna in this area. Le Piane Boca is known for its elegance, complexity, and age-worthiness. In terms of appearance, Le Piane Boca typically exhibits a deep ruby red color with hints of garnet as it ages. On the nose, it offers a bouquet of ripe red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by floral notes of violets and roses. There is often a subtle earthiness present, with hints of truffle and underbrush. On the palate, Le Piane Boca showcases a harmonious balance between its fruit, acidity, and tannins. The tannins are typically firm but well-integrated, providing structure and allowing the wine to age gracefully. Flavors of red berries, plums, and spices are often present, with a touch of minerality adding complexity. This wine is known for its excellent aging potential, and it is recommended to cellar it for several years to fully appreciate its development. With time, Le Piane Boca evolves, gaining additional layers of complexity and tertiary aromas such as leather, tobacco, and dried herbs. When it comes to food pairings, Le Piane Boca pairs wonderfully with rich and flavorful dishes. It complements red meats, game, and aged cheeses exceptionally well. The wine's acidity and tannins help cut through the richness of these dishes, creating a harmonious balance.Taste Flavor
