BOCA SERGIO BARBAGLIA 2018 DESCRIPTION

The Boca "Antico Borgo dei Cavalli" by Sergio Barbaglia is a clear example of great wines from Piedmont; another facet of Nebbiolo that here, in the north of Piedmont, offers one of the most successful wines in recent years. We are in Cavallirio, near Gattinara and Ghemme, in the hilly area is located near the Mount Fenera, where the Sesia Valley takes its birth and gives us a fantastic view, with Monte Rosa to dominate every view.

And here, in 1946, Mario Barbaglia decided to turn their passion; armed with a bicycle began to introduce his wines in neighboring countries and, year after year, has increased the appreciation and interest in its reality. A winery that stands on the accuracy, the dedication, the meticulousness; skills, all of these, that are in Sergio, Mario's son, accompanied on this trip by his daughter Silvia, all charisma, creativity and innovation. Together, Sergio and Silvia, are a perfect couple: two great winelovers and their great wine, now widely recognized as one of the best Boca. Born on soils rich in minerals, it brings to the palate a distinct sapidity and freshness

That of Sergio Barbaglia is a Boca of overflowing personality, original and strong; it will delight you with its generosity, its freshness, and its density. You have to wait, it opens slowly, but this is its dowry: be generous with those who appreciate it. And to those who are able to wait it brings out hints of spice, mint, alpine herbs. Want more? This is Boca, the essence of Sergio Barbaglia and his daughter Silvia.
