Bogge Wine Nives Barolo – 2018

Super Ager (decades)
Avg. Vine Age: 30 years
Nebbiolo

Nives comes from a small family farm in the Langhe hills where vines grow alongside fruit trees and vegetable gardens. There, winemaker Giacomo Boggero opts for the traditional Barolo style and Slavonian oak (rather than French barriques) to soften the tannins without losing the Barolo edge. Accordingly, and as a great Barolo should, Nives rewards patience; you will enjoy the dry white pepper and cinnamon notes now, but you might be kicking yourself if you pass up the opportunity to stow a few bottles away in your cellar for when this “tarred rose” really blooms, reaching its peak around 10 years from now.

Getting an exclusive vintage of Barolo is difficult, but we were able to lock up all 4,500 bottles of this Nives 2018. It is solely ours, and yours, to enjoy.
