In keeping with the style of the year, Boca’s 2007 Boca Il Rosso delle Donne is quite rich and generous. Tobacco, scorched earth, worn-in leather and smoke add complexity to the dark fruit in this powerful, intense wine. The aromas and flavors are already a touch forward, which suggests the 2007 won’t be especially long-lived by this wine’s standards. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022.

The 2006 Boca Il Rosso delle Donne is an attractive, if somewhat fleeting, red. Sweet dried fruit, mountain herbs and mint are some of the notes that emerge from this beguiling red. The Rosso delle Donne shows the higher acidity that is typical of the wines of Northern Piedmont, which gives the wine its poise and energy. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024.

The 2005 Boca Il Rosso delle Donne offers up dusty red cherries, dried flowers, sweet herbs and minerals on a medium-bodied, nicely articulated frame. This shows wonderful delineation and nuance, not to mention impeccable overall balance. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025. The reds of Northern Piedmont remain insiders’ wines, but the finest bottles from these tiny appellations merit considerable attention. I came away very impressed with the wines I tasted from Conti. I also sampled a number of older vintages, the best of which are reviewed here. All of these wines are 70% Nebbiolo, 20% Vespolina and 10% Uva Rara, the traditional blend in these parts.

The 2004 Boca Il Rosso delle Donne shimmers on the palate with layers of fruit, mineral, and herbs. Stylistically the 2004 is a much more expansive, generous wine than the 2005, with layers of fruit that radiate with notable energy through to the mineral-laced finish. This fresh, vibrant and impeccably pure wine is a jewel. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024.
