Boscareto is Principiano’s flagship single-vineyard Barolo, bottled only in the best vintages, with this 2020 being the first release since 2016. The vineyard lies in Serralunga d’Alba, at the foot of Cascina Francia, with old vines on south-west facing sandy soils over blue marne.

Serralunga Barolo is typically the most structured and long-lived expression of Nebbiolo, known for firm tannins and extraordinary depth. The 2020 Boscareto shows rose petal, red cherry, macerated raspberry and orange peel, with nutmeg, tobacco and deep mineral notes. It's mid-weight with tremendous polish, silky mouthfeel, bright acidity and a long, fragrant finish. While powerful, it's also very approachable for a Serralunga Barolo.
