This truly regal grappa is created from the pomace of red wine Nebbiolo grapes from Barolo - one of Italy’s greatest wines. Golden amber tones come through from ageing in oak barrels for a minimum of 12 years. The Grappa di Barolo 12 Year Old is elegantly perfumed, with deep, expressive flavors of toasty vanilla and fruit. It is warmly full-bodied with a generous character.A lovely straw color, a deeply ample aroma, and enormous full-flavored character balanced by velvety smoothness.

Bruno Rocca Rabaja Barbaresco 2013
Good bright red. Subtle perfumed aromas of raspberry, white pepper, cinnamon and red rose. Suave, precise flavors of red cherry, raspberry and sweet spices show a juicy, elegant quality. Finishes extremely long and pure, filling the mouth with perfume. A real beauty with great aging potential: this has the charm and grace of the entry-level 2011 Barbaresco and the density and complexity of the Coparossa, but is much better than either one.

Davide Carlone Boca
In his late teens, Davide Carlone (born 1968) worked a 1ha, old-vine Boca vineyard that was one of only three hectares still in existence. In this tiny appellation that once flourished, little remains of the once prolific vineyards that thrived pre-phylloxera. To understand how the landscape of Boca and neighboring Lessona, Gheme and Gattinara appeared in that era, simply replace these now mostly wooded hills with the vast vineyard extensions of the Langhe today. In fact, in that era the tables of Nebbiolo production were reversed with Upper Piedmont as the epicenter.
As local as local gets, Carlone -who has never been on a plane- has held tight to the tales of times past. Since the late 80’s, he has moonlighted to keep Boca alive, clearing woods and planting more and more Nebbiolo and Vespolina—a passion that predates those of a determined Swiss wine merchant and colleague who began to resurrect Le Piane in the late 1990’s.
Crafting natural wines, Carlone has been the guiding light of Boca, offering advice and growing for others while the appellation slowly gained traction. Today, he keeps a bit more of his grapes and finished wines for himself. The Croatina spends over a year in cask and the Boca nearly four, with minimal racking. Both Croatina and Nebbiolo are utterly unique expressions when grown in Boca, in part because the soils and bedrock are primarily volcanic porphyry, which is an appellation specific trait because the hills of Boca are the remnant of a once active volcano.

Deltetto Roero Braja 2014
Producer Notes:
From our vineyard Braja in Santo Stefano Roero we make our Roero Riserva, that takes its name from the Piedmontese dialect word “shout” and was inherited by our maternal grandfather Aldo. The wine is perfectly expressing the combination in elegance and power of Nebbiolo. The vines enjoy a south-west exposure, with a sandy soil that exalt the typical characteristics of Roero DOCG.
