Boca

Boca DOC wine is one of the excellences of Northern Piedmont and was born in the province of Novara, in the municipalities of Boca, Maggiora, Cavallirio, Prato Sesia and Grignasco. It is produced with nebbiolo (70/90%), vespolina or rare grapes (30/10%). The Boca DOC specification provides for a minimum ageing period of 34 months (18 in wood) and 46 months (24 in wood) for the Riserva. On the Boca DOC labels it is allowed to insert the mention "Vigna" if the vineyard is more than 7 years old. It is one of the best and most interesting expressions of Nebbiolo outside the Langhe.
