Production is limited to around three thousand bottles per year. Ageing in large barrels is extended to three years. This is followed by at least another twelve months in the bottle before it is put up for sale. The peculiarity of Podere ai Valloni is the use of three grape varieties, Uva Rara (10%), which lightens the wine, along with the “typical” blend of Nebbiolo 70% and Vespolina (20%). Most other producers use only Vespolina in combination with Nebbiolo for their Boca.
The result is a fine, elegant wine with great expressive power that wonderfully reflects the terroir of the Cru Vigna Cristiana. As of 2011, Podere ai Valloni is certified organic.
A splendid combination of fine spices, herbs, pomegranate and red fruit, the right tannins, lightened by the acidity of the volcanic soil, each sip convinces with its duration and flavour.
Characteristics similar to those of the previous vintage, but with much greater concentration and explosive power of aromas. Consequently, this vintage appears more immediate and invasive to the palate and the higher alcohol content emphasises the body and texture.
This simple and elegant red is made from 85% Nebbiolo and 15% Vespolina grapes, organically farmed and manually selected.
This a very drinkable, joyful and likeable light “summer” red, like its colour. A beautiful luminous light ruby, it expresses the simple elegance of Uva Rara and the fruitiness of young Nebbiolo.
