Boffa, Barbaresco, Piedmont

• Located in the heart of the picturesque village of Barbaresco in Piedmont, lies the small, family-run cantina of Carlo Boffa. The Boffa family started making wine in the 60’s and today Carlo manages the 5 hectares of vines, whilst his wife, Laura, handles the firm’s business and trading.
• The vineyards are divided into the production of mainly red varieties that you would expect from this prestigious wine-producing zone, with Nebbiolo being the most famous. Dolcetto d’Alba and Barbera d’Alba are produced in limited quantities whilst across the valley floor, the Roero zone is where a small production of Arneis is cultivated.
• Modern techniques are used in the winery; however, the aim is to produce wines that speak of the tradition of this part of the Langhe: wines of vibrant colour, heady perfumes and soft silky tannins that envelop a textured body with a slightly above average alcohol content.
• The cantina (winery) also accommodates a boutique guest house, with rooms and a private terrace overlooking what may be one of the most spectacular views of the Langhe. Wine is served along with various charcuterie options to the public on a terrace open to all, and it’s a great way to both meet wine lovers and taste the latest vintages from the nearby cellar.
