Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

Winery located in Alba, Piedmont region founded in 1881. Great Grandson, Pio Boffa, continues the tradition of innovative wine making. Ruby red color with red fruit aromas and herb floral scents. On the palate flavors of sour cherry, dried berries, cinnamon, licorice and tobacco notes. Soft tannins complement fruit to long finish ending with earthy mineral oak. Wonderful, Nebbiolo at its best! Starting to drink now! — a month ago

We had the 2010 riserva on 2/8/25. A fabulous Brunello. All of the expected good scents and flavors: black cherry, raspberry, leather and tobacco. Well balanced; tannins smoothed out. Good finish. — 9 months ago

Soft, fairly light wine with mild tannins. Lot of cherry, bit of tobacco and licorice; didn’t find it all that fragrant, but it is a good value. Would go with a wide range of foods. — 3 months ago

A lovely blend of malvasia and vermentino, a bit acidic at first, light and easily paired with meat or fish, slightly effervescent, for me personally no discernible flavor yet very tasty in its own right. — 3 years ago

Hi everyone! This is lovely (rare descriptor for me). Medium red brick color, medium plus body, medium plus alcohol but subtle. Nice acidity, and tannins make this absolutely drinkable right now-- 8/26/25 my 58th birthday, forgot to give everyone my new Miami address for bottled gifts 😜 . Certainly floral notes on both the nose and palate, but not rose, some cedar overtones, with an enjoyable minerality. It's lovely because it all comes together like a beautiful gift basket (pun not intended) that would impress a royal lady, but stand up proud for a gentleman. It will improve, but you don't have to let it!

This is the Riserva.

Asian pear, peach, green apple with light white floral note. A bit herbaceous as well. Fresh acidity carries the polished medium body well. Hint of graphite emerges on the finish. — 2 years ago
