Tasting Note

Easily one of the best value wines in its class, there is not a hair out of place in this elegant, classic and well-constructed Capalot. Showing the ineffable elegance of one of the finest terroirs in La Morra, this is an overachiever in ever sense of the word, a new producer working great soil with world class quality and thoroughly overdelivering on price.

Producer

Rooted in the historical vineyards of La Morra, the Cristian Boffa winery embodies a rich legacy of Piedmontese viticulture. Managed by Stefano, Marilena, Cristian, and Miriam Boffa, the estate specializes in classic Langhe wines, including Barbera d’Alba, Langhe Nebbiolo, and distinguished Barolos from their Capalot and other local cru vineyards. Their 5-hectare operation near Santa Maria thrives on the unique marl soils of the region, cultivating vines that are on average 35 years old. The family’s approach combines traditional winemaking with modern insights, ensuring each bottle reflects the nuanced character of their terroir. Embodying a small, family-run estate, the Boffas have transitioned from selling grapes and bulk wine to bottling their own wines a few years ago. Their Barolo from the La Morra is a blend from several vineyards, including the distinguished Barolo Cavallotto cru.
