Wine Advocate 91
"The 2009 Dogliani Vigna del Prey emerges from the glass with an exciting array of wild cherries, spices, tar and game. This is a somewhat wild, animalistic Dolcetto, yet there is just enough polish to balance some of the wines more extroverted leanings. The finish turns slightly firm, but that wont be an issue at the dinner table. This is chock full of personality. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.

This is a fabulous set of wines from Boschis, a producer that doesnt get anywhere near the attention they deserve. These wines are loaded with personality and character."

"Colour: Deep ruby red
Nose: Concentrated, very intense, blackberry, blueberry
Flavour: Well-structured, soft, slightly tannic, pleasant acidity, long finish
Serving suggestions: Suitable for the whole meal, very elaborated red meat dishes, game " ~ Winery notes
About Francesco Boschis Vineyards
In the little-visited township of Dogliani (located a few kilometers south of Barolo), Dolcetto is king. Nebbiolo is not suited to the terrain, and few choose the challenge of making a living from Dolcetto and Barbera alone. The Boschis family has been producing wine on their family property since 1919, but only began bottling their own juice in 1968. Plantings are at 550 meters, about 200-300 meters higher than those in Barolo and Barbaresco, resulting in a powerfully enhanced bouquet; old vines (40-60 years) result in richly complex and ageworthy wines.
