Critics
This opens with aromas of red-skinned berry, cedar and underbrush. The solid savory palate shows red cherry, star anise and mocha alongside dusty tannins and fresh acidity. Drink 2023–2030.

This estate’s top vineyards are in Monforte. Its succulent Bussia in this vintage is surpassed by the Coste di Monforte, which is produced from 1ha at 400 metres. The raspberry-scented nose is sweet and intense and shows finesse. It’s the balance that impresses here: rich and full-bodied, weighty but not too extracted, with polished tannins and great concentration. The finish is spicy, intense, complex and long. Drinking Window 2020 – 2040

Producer
Amalia, Cascina in Langa, situated on the hills of Monforte d’Alba, is the ideal starting point for a jouney of discovery of the tastes of Langhe. Beginning in 2003 the Boffa family – Luigi Antonio with his wife, Maria Angela Brosio, and son Paolo – bought the business, purchased over 10 hectares of vineyards, renovated the farmstead and built a state-of- the-art winery on site. Our vineyards are in Monforte d’Alba, in the respective areas of S. Anna, Montagliarotto and the prestigious areas of Cru Bussia and Le Coste.
