Indulge in the timeless elegance of the Antichi Poderi Cascina Frati Vecchi Boffa Angelo Barbaresco, a 1997 vintage that embodies the soul of the Piedmont region. This Barbaresco, hailing from the prestigious Barbaresco DOCG, is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and unwavering dedication of the Boffa Angelo family.
Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, this wine showcases the unique terroir of the Barbaresco area. The 'Antichi Poderi Cascina Frati Vecchi' (which translates to 'Ancient Estate Frati Vecchi Farmhouse'), represents the tradition and history embedded within each bottle.
This 1997 vintage has been aged in oak barrels ('Invecchiato in Botti di Rovere'), which contributes to the wine's structure, complexity, and smooth tannins. On the nose, you'll be greeted with intoxicating aromas of dried cherry, rose petals, and subtle hints of leather and tar – classic characteristics of well-aged Barbaresco. The palate is dry and full-bodied, with a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and tannins that linger long after each sip.
Perfectly balanced and impeccably structured, this Barbaresco is an ideal companion to hearty dishes such as roasted game, braised meats, and truffle-infused risottos. Its complex flavor profile also makes it a fantastic pairing for aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino. Allow the wine to breathe for at least 30 minutes to fully unlock its aromatic potential and serve at a temperature of 18°C (64°F).
Imagine yourself transported to the rolling hills of Piedmont, as you savour each sip of this exceptional wine. The Antichi Poderi Cascina Frati Vecchi Boffa Angelo Barbaresco is not merely a wine; it's an experience – a journey through time and tradition. Don't miss the opportunity to add this gem to your collection and elevate your dining experience to new heights. Cheers to the enduring legacy of Italian winemaking!
