The name “Boffalora” is meant to evoke the interplay of breva winds that swoop up from Lake Como in the morning and the evening tivano breezes coming down from the Alps. From soils of sand, silt, and stone and harvested in late October/early November, the Nebbiolo/Chiavennasca for “Pietrisco” is fermented in stainless steel and macerated on its skins for about two weeks. It is aged in large, used oak casks for 12-15 months and then rested in tank and later bottle for about six months before release. Fresh and vibrant with loads of energy. There’s a real purity to it with lovely sour cherries. It has excellent grape tannins to caress your tongue. The tannins offer front mid-palate attack in a very good way. Lovely perfume and lift to this. Read More
