Detailed itinerary
1
Our father Ermanno, one of the first producers of Boca doc, founded Le Cantine del Castello in 1963 in Maggiora (No) in Piedmont, preserving the winemaking tradition of his ancestors, stubbornly choosing to produce a long aging wine like Boca, defending its typicality. A precious teaching that still accompanies us, continuing to believe in the potential of this wine with a distinctive character, of great finesse and elegance, with pronounced minerality and freshness. An heritage of significant value, in which the passion for our land is continually told through the wines we produce.
