"“The highlight in this range from Boschis, the 2016 Dogliani Superiore Vigna dei Prey is laced with the essence of blackberry jam, black cherry, licorice, graphite, cloves, menthol and new leather. Dark, powerful and sumptuous, the Vigna dei Prey shows off the richer side of Dolcetto to great effect. But what I love most about the Vigna dei Prey is its ability to be unapologetically flamboyant and yet not at all overdone. There ... read more

The Wine
100% Dolcetto planted in the Prey cru in 1990 & 1992 at 500-530 meters in calcareous clay soils with southwest exposure. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration on the skins for 7 days in stainless steel followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine matures for 1 year in tank before bottling. Boschis owns 1.7 hectares of vineyards in Prey form which he makes just under 500 cases of this wine. The first vintage 1983.

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.
