The Pajè mention identifies a specific vineyard on Tufo di Sant'Agata Fossili soils - the calcareous-clayey marl that characterizes some of Neive's most elegant crus - with an exposure and soil composition that ensure slow, even ripening and exceptional phenolic quality for the Nebbiolo. Boffa's Pajè comes from a vineyard the family knows intimately, cultivated with the same generations-old artisan care that distinguishes the entire estate's production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNebbiolo di Barbaresco - the same grape variety as Barolo but grown on different soils and generally at a lower elevation - expresses in this Neive terroir a finesse and elegance that clearly distinguish it from more powerful and austere Barolos. Boffa's chosen maturation is precise and respectful: 18 months in 25-hectolitre French oak casks - medium-sized vessels that ensure gradual oxygenation and more elegant wood integration than a small barrique, without the aromatic break caused by large 50-hectolitre casks - followed by 12 months of bottle aging before release. In total, almost 3 years from harvest to customer for the 2022 vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 2022 vintage in Piedmont was one of the hottest and driest of the last few decades - conditions that produced Nebbiolo of great concentration and exceptional phenolic ripeness, with softer, more approachable tannins than in cooler vintages, but with the structure and depth to guarantee a decade of longevity. A vintage to keep and wait for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOn the nose, it is elegant and layered - all the charm of Neive Nebbiolo: dried rose and violet, cherry and sour cherry, raspberry, rhubarb, pipe tobacco, leather, oriental spices and a precise calcareous minerality that directly recalls Pajè's tuffaceous soils. On the palate, it is structured and long - present tannins already well polished by aging in large casks, vibrant natural acidity that is Nebbiolo's genetic signature and ensures verticality and longevity, harmonious glyceric sweetness and an exceptionally long, persistent finish with notes of red fruit, spices, tobacco and minerality that evolve for minutes. Serve at 18-20°C with at least one hour of decanting.

The Boffa family tends its vineyards with generations of artisan dedication, prioritizing grape quality and respect for the land over high-volume production - 2,500 bottles a year of this Superiore testify to a precise and consistent production choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBarbera is Piedmont's most generous and most underrated grape variety - generous because it produces grapes with naturally high concentration and exceptionally high natural acidity, making it age-worthy and versatile at the table; underrated because for too long it was considered the \"poor man's wine,\" in contrast to Nebbiolo's nobility. Yet in the right hands, with controlled yields, a late harvest, and aging in quality wood, Barbera d'Asti Superiore can achieve a complexity and aromatic depth that astonish even the most demanding palates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBoffa interprets Barbera Superiore with 12 months of aging in French oak barriques and tonneaux - a combination that brings tannic finesse from the barriques and structural roundness from the tonneaux, integrating spicy and vanilla notes into the wine that intertwine beautifully with Barbera's natural red fruit - followed by 6 months of bottle aging before release. The result is a Superiore Barbera of great character: its 15.5% natural alcohol - the result of a late harvest and exceptional grape concentration in the 2022 vintage - is perfectly balanced by the vibrant acidity that is this grape variety's genetic signature, creating a balance between power and freshness that is the most fascinating characteristic of the finest Superiore wines from the Asti area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOn the nose, it is rich and enveloping: ripe black cherry and morello cherry preserves, blackberry, plum, cocoa, sweet spices (vanilla, cinnamon), light tobacco, and a balsamic hint of aromatic hillside herbs. On the palate, it is warm and structured - tannins are present but already well integrated through aging in wood, with a glyceric sweetness balancing the alcoholic power, Barbera's natural acidity remaining lively and vertical, and a long, persistent finish with notes of concentrated dark fruit, spices, and integrated oak. Serve at 16-17°C, with a brief decanting. It shows its best qualities between 3 and 10 years after the harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emporio Divino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58271024120182,"sku":null,"price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/2717\/0166\/files\/Nuovoprogetto_79_1_52.jpg?v=1790074369"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/2717\/0166\/collections\/BOFFA.webp?v=1789720193","url":"https:\/\/emporiodivino.com\/en\/collections\/boffa.oembed","provider":"Emporio diVino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
