Winery located in Alba, the Piedmont region was founded by its namesake in 1881. Great Grandson, Pio Boffa, continues the tradition of innovative wine making. ‘12 was a difficult but PC did well. Aromas of fresh dark berry fruits & herb notes. Cherry, plum and minty flavors, some licorice and cacao, well balanced with young tannins. Complex lingering finish ending with nice earthy notes. Enjoyable now but needs more time. — 8 years ago
Pleasant but light Nebbiolo. A bit tart and a touch much acidic than I would like. Easily pared with lighter and heavier foods. — 8 years ago
Must say, best Italian wine I've ever had. — 8 years ago

Vintage 2008 — 8 years ago
We got fooled on this one. So musty-dusty smelling that we thought it was corked or bad, so we just set it on the counter. The next night we tried it again for kicks and decided we should decant and see what we have. Good decision! Triple decanted and let it sit for awhile. We would have waited another day if we could, but had other plans so went ahead and drank it. Five hours later it was still opening. Next time we'll probably open it the night before and double decant and let it sit all day. We didn't get the raisin flavor this time. Dry and lots of leather. Delish!! — 9 years ago

Good structure. Restrained. Nice expression of Barbaresco. — 8 years ago
Cherry in front, dry & lingering, chewy. I like it & it was one of the least expensive of this grape, but still a bit much for me. — 8 years ago
Elegant, soft, citrus notes (soft Meyer lemon). Lights bubbles, a touch above effervescent — 8 years ago
Inexpensive wine with great taste! — 8 years ago
A extremely nice everyday experience. The type bottle of bottle you grab from the refrigerator and let warm up on the table while you make cacio e pepe. Nice. — 9 years ago
Very rich & fruity — 9 years ago
2003: Intense ruby red. Sour cherries, sweet tobacco and violets. Well-amalgamated scents of spices and fruit. Firm texture, high yet balanced acidity that makes the wine very pleasant to drink. Persistent, with fruity notes. (Duemilavini) — 12 years ago
