The winery’s top-shelf selection is the 2007 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boshis Vigna San Giuseppe that makes an immediate showing of underbrush, white truffle and autumn leaf. This is a classic portrayal of Nebbiolo with added layers of licorice and dried fruit that forge a clean link between the grape and the territory. Don’t put your guard down: This is an explosive wine with impressive power and fortitude. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2030.
