Podere ai Valloni was the first winery to be registered as a Boca doc producer. The ancient Cà Finazzi started producing Boca in the 18th century. The Boca doc was born in 1969, but sadly, after only a few years the vines almost disappeared in the whole region.
In 1980 Guido and Cristiana Sertorio bought the old winery and started producing Boca doc again. Today, Anna and her husband Andrea give continuity to the founders’ dream of a beautiful vineyard and excellent wines, and the younger generation is already growing up.
Since the beginning Podere ai Valloni was not only a winery, but a ‘garden-vineyard’ cultivated with the maximum respect for the environment. Since 2014 we are an organic winery.
Our wine is made only with our own grapes in total traceability. Our yield is only 4000 kilograms per hectare, although the possible yield in this area is 9000. This is because we make a deliberate strict selection at every step of the cultivation, preferring quality over quantity. Our winery produces about 12.000 bottles per year.
This wine (85% Nebbiolo and 15% Vespolina) is a young Nebbiolo with a rich bouquet and taste: a fruity nose with scents of raspberry and black pepper, while in mouth is softly tannic, equilibrated, harmonic, persistent and well structured. This wine ferments for 8/10 days and then is aged for 12 months in big oak barrels.
A younger and fresh wine produced with 50% of Nebbiolo and 50% of Uva rara. After the pressing and a 4/5 days fermenting process, the wine is poured in stainless steel containers and repoured in order to eliminate the dregs. The wine ages in steel for 6 months and afterwards it is immediately bottled after filtering.
