Production area: The wine is produced exclusively with grapes from the vineyard called "Vigna Cristiana", located in the Traversagna region, in the villages of Boca and Prato Sesia. Alto Piemoten. Guyot planting
Vineyard: is 50 years old.
Vineyard area: 3 hectares, yield 40 quintali per hectare (4000 kilos).
Production: harvest consists of removing grapes and berries that have not yet completed the ripening process to perfection. After pressing, fermentation is activated with indigenous yeasts using the pied de cuve method and then continues for about 20 days. The wine is then put into barrels and subjected to annual procedure to remove the lees. The Boca Vigna Cristiana is aged for three years in oak barrels and then bottled on the winery's premises and aged in bottle for at least 12 months. Soil profile: Volcanic porphyry. This 2020 Boca stayed at the winery for 2 more years aging in bottle.
Nose: The nose is complex with balsamic notes, herbs and citrus notes. The herbs of Vespolina are well present along with the familiar hints of volcanic soils.
Taste: The tannins are firm and contribute to the definition of a very persistent wine thanks to the savory touch.
Alcohol content: 14%.
Goes with: primi , risotto with scary rich texture, tasty red meat, salami, game and very well aged cheeses
Best drinkable: 2025 - 2035, this according to Antonio Galloni's comments, however this 2035 is not correct. There was a master class with wines from 1984, perfectly drinkable.
More explanation about the producer: Boca DOC since 1980. The vineyard, managed under a certified organic farming regime, is rooted on the rocks of the Supervulcano della Valsesia, porphyries with a characteristic purple-red color that give our wines their distinctive characteristics of elegance and minerality. Wines produced exclusively from our own grapes with a deliberately very low yield per hectare, putting quality over quantity.
