Barbaglia Colline Novaresi DOC 2022 ‘Cascina del Buonumore‘
Boca, with its 50 acres of vineyards divided among 9 wineries, is one of the smallest appellations in Italy, producing fine Nebbiolos (called Spanna in the area) in the very north of Piedmont, at the foothill of Monte Rosa. The area has cooler temperatures than Langhe, producing elegant wines that resemble pre-climate change Barolos.
85% Nebbiolo, 15% Vespolina. 13% vol.
Cascina del Buonumore by Silvia Barbaglia, one of the most elegant and pleasant wines I have tasted recently, is the typical blend of Nebbiolo and Vespolina typical of Northern Piedmont. With a luminescent ruby red color, the wine opens with fragrant notes of rose petals, tart cherry, orange blossoms, sweet chocolate, wet stones and an herbaceous note of dried leaves. In the palate it is like a feast for the tastebuds, with a graceful side of sour cherry, a subtle tannin and a sapid, never-ending finish of pomegranate.
