Francesco Boschis Dogliani Superiore Dolcetto Sori San Martino 2021 750ml

The estate was established in 1919 by Francesco Boschis, but till 1968 the grapes were sold to other growers and to wineries of the area. Francesco and his son Mario decided to start vinifying a part of the grape production in their own cellar and to bottle the wine. A few hundred of bottles of Dolcetto di Dogliani were thus produced with the 1968 vintage. In the following years the estate became larger and the grapes from some small vineyards were vinified separately: "Vigna Sorì San Martino" and "Vigna dei Prey" and, starting with the 2001 vintage "Vigna del Ciliegio". These three wines are classified as Dogliani DOCG as from the 2006 vintage. Apart from Dolcetto, wines made from other red indigenous varieties, such as Freisa, Barbera and Grignolino are produced. Environment friendly practices are pursued in the vineyards. The estate is now managed by Mario and Simona Boschis together with their two sons Paolo and Marco and their daughter Chiara.
