The 2012 Boca Il Rosso delle Donne (75% Nebbiolo, 20% Vespolina and 5% Uva Rara) offers immediate brightness and solid primary fruit. Black cherry and dried raspberry are followed by tangy elements of chopped herb and crushed granite stone. The mouthfeel is compact and a bit leaner than I would have expected.

Offers intense aromas of macerated cherry, raspberry, flowers and spice. The flavors are concentrated and juicy, with vivid acidity and firm tannins. Tight, yet all the elements are here and the finish is long. Nebbiolo, Vespolina and Uva Rara. Best from 2018 through 2028. 50 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Boca Select to Add

The 1990 Boca is an eye-opening wine for its freshness and superb sense of harmony. The expressive regional and varietal character shows the more opulent, rich side of its personality in this sexy red. The 1990 possesses an extra degree of plumpness that is quite welcome in this appellation, where wines so often come across as herbal, lean and/or vegetal. A melange of tar, grilled herbs, dried flowers and tar lingers on the finish. Another decade of fine drinking seems a safe bet. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. 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.Importer: Jan D’Amore Wines, Brooklyn, NY; tel. (917) 257-7994

The 1985 Boca is stylistically similar to the 1990 but with a touch less depth and freshness, neither of which is surprising given the wine’s age. The fruit has begun to fade, revealing tannins that will take on an increasingly greater role in the wine’s balance. The 1985 is best enjoyed over the next two to three years. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2015. The reds of Northern Piedmont remain insiders’ wines, but the finest bottles from these tiny appellations merit considerable attention.

The 1984 Boca is an intriguing, haunting wine graced with layers of delicate, perfumed fruit. Tar, leather, spices and mountain herbs waft from this somewhat frail yet compelling red. This is another beautiful wine from Conti, but it needs to be enjoyed sooner rather than later. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012.
