Drink now through to 2030. No need to decant before serving.

Gianfranco Bovio is best known for his world-class restaurant Belvedere in Piemonte which boasted stunning views of La Morra as well as exceptional cuisine. In the 1970s Gianfranco embarked on an ambitious new project to revive his father’s estate which had just three hectares planted to Nebbiolo and Dolcetto. Over the years he added another seven hectares of prime vineyards on the slopes of Arborina, Gattera, and Rocchettevino. Today this top-rated Barolo estate is run by the third generation of the Bovio family, Alessandra and her husband, Marco Boschiazzo.

Production remains very small with an artisanal approach to winemaking which includes the traditional practice of ageing the wines in large Slavonian oak casks. The Bovio style is typically elegant and earthy with delicate floral notes and excellent ageability.

Their Il Ciotto Barbera is a bright and vibrant red sourced from 15-20 year old vines located in La Morra. The wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks and aged in 500 litre barrels for six months followed by an additional 8 months in Slavonian oak casks. The result is a fresh, medium body red with intense notes of red cherry, redcurrants and a subtle balsamic tone on the finish.
