Mostly Nebbiolo with some Vespolina.
Classic old school Alto Piemonte. The Vespolina provides a nice lift to the deep black fruit. Insanely alluring melange of creosote, sottobosco and, emerging with air, mint on the mid-palate. Tannins are maturing nicely.The tannins in the 2012 Le Piane Boca retain a little bite, but they don't clench down with extended aeration in a decanter.
Alto Piemonte drinkability likely influenced by amount of Vespolina and Croatina in the blend. For example, the 2013 Le Pianelle Bramaterra is in a great zone now, IMO, and it has around 20% combined Vespolina and Croatina...
Have some of 2012 Le Piane Boca left over for day two notes. Am impressed by the classic cloth this wine is cut from...
