Boggione, Claudio 2018 Barolo Brunate

Claudio Boggione’s organic vines are all in Brunate; for years he’s been diligently making great wine without fuss. 2018 is the 5th vintage we’ve sold; the wines are vintage-sensitive, but each year the reinforce the impression of very high quality that we first tasted in his 2013. After a decent interval to let the wine breathe, the 2018 shows its great potential – fragrant with flowers and earth; plenty of bright juicy fruit, but overall savory in character, with pronounced ripe tannins – as you taste the wine it blossoms, expressing both finesse and the power of Brunate - and it becomes increasingly delicious. I will put some bottles in the cellar, but given sufficient time in the decanter you can enjoy this now.  Another very fine Brunate from Boggione.
