Castello Conti 2017 Boca Nebbiolo ‘Il Rosso delle Donne’ Piemonte

A stunning Nebbiolo blend from the ancient volcanic soils of Boca in Alto-Piemonte. This is for lovers of Nebbiolo with age and evolution in the glass. Elena Conti is a gem in the area, producing refined wines aged in large cask for years, just like her father. This 2017 Rosso delle Donne is Elena’s top shelf, showing toasted rhubarb pie on the palate with aromas of fresh minerals, sage and dried red flowers. Awesome
