* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Gianfranco Bovio represents 20 hectares of vines planted to Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera. The Arborina cru has clay soils and its wines are, as a result, slightly more concentrated and darker in color. Aromas here recall blackberry, black licorice and cherry cola.

The Vigna Gattera cru produces elegant wines with immediate floral notes of blue flower and violet. Those aromas are followed by red fruit and spice with distant smoke and mineral. This wine is very much enhanced by the beauty of its mouthfeel, which is silky. Delicious.

Extreme elegance and balance characterize Gianfranco Bovio’s Barolo Rocchettevino. The wine is studied and sophisticated with a clean presentation of fruit, spice and ethereal balsam or herbal aromas. It’s a toned and carefully structured wine that will last many long years in the cellar.

This Barolo from the Gattera vineyard of La Morra opens with bold personality and chiseled aromas of cola, spice, black fruit, root beer, licorice, dried tobacco and herbs. The wine holds the banner high as far as Nebbiolo tradition goes and offers a long, spice- filled finish. Drink after 2015.

Barolo Arborina is slightly raw and sharp at first but the quality of the fruit is evident and, in general, this wine needs more time to evolve in the bottle. At this young stage, you’ll taste white cherry, Spanish cedar, graphite tones, tobacco and light shadings of smoke. It’s a fine, elegant wine with a long tannic fade.

You’ll love the smoked bacon and bresaola notes that emerge at the top of this deep bouquet. At the back are notes of ripe fruit, black cherry, dusty mineral and exotic spice. The wine offers a tight and compact feel with a long, smooth finish.

Smoky notes of mesquite and teriyaki are blended nicely with delicate berry notes and a drying mineral feel. This is a classic and subdued Nebbiolo that would pair with veal scallopini enhanced by a drop of truffle oil.
