BOCA DOC 2011
BOCA / Podere ai Valloni
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. Flowers, red fruits and citrus fruit, pomegranate. As in all Boca wines, the acidity ensures drinkability to the point that the first sips do not last long and quickly make room for the following ones. In the finish, cocoa, tobacco and leather dominate. Perhaps less elegant than 2010, but in any case equally fantastic!
