Garnet red in color, this Nebbiolo shows floral aromas, together with chocolate, toast, and spicy notes from oak aging. It has great structure and robust tannins.

The Nebbiolo grapes for this wine come from vineyards located in Neive, Gallina Vineyard, at 200 to 300 feet above sea level. The average age of the vines is 10 years, and they are grown south-west and south. After harvesting, the grapes are [pressed and the must is fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks after a short period in contact with dry ice to increase complexity and aroma. Skin maceration takes place over 8 days, assuring good color and body.

This wine is a great accompaniment to red meats like beef and pork, as well as an array of Italian cheeses, pastas and risotto.

Wine Enthusiast (90 Points):
“As the wine opens, the nose is full of rose, pine, dried bay leaf and tart cherries. The wine is medium in body, with elegant tannins that meld well with the supple fruit and earthiness on the finish.”

Raised among the vines in the Langhe region of Piedmont, 3rd generation winemaker Luca Bosio inherited “native intelligence” and natural ability for farming from his parents and grandparents. His talent for growing grapes was uncanny, so he did what any aspiring grape grower would do: he enrolled in the enology program at the famed University of Turin. That proved to be a fruitful endeavor as Luca gained valuable information on new technological advancements in the world of wine, like using native yeasts and how to make a viable wine with less sulfur inclusion and other chemical additives. His schooling was also the impetus that prompted him to theorize around the best ways to preserve aroma and structure.

Luca continued with his academics, eventually earning a master’s degree in enology, always finding new, innovative ways to make his family’s wine better.

The family’s winery, Bosio, was renamed to the Luca Bosio Vineyards. Under Luca’s purview, the vineyard holdings have increased to 1,000 acres in Piedmont and surrounding areas, including the purchase of the highly regarded Bel Colle Winery and vineyards, which has solidified Luca’s position as an outstanding maker of fine Piedmontese wine.
