Le Piane 2018 Italian Red Wine – Piane Vino Rosso

Le Pianelle Boca DOC 2018 – Old Vine Elegance from Piedmont

Discover the hidden gem of Italy’s Piedmont region with Le Pianelle’s exquisite 2018 vintage—a masterful blend of 90% rare Croatina and 10% Vespolina grapes. Crafted from century-old vines thriving at 500m elevation in Montalbano’s high hillsides, this artisanal red wine embodies both heritage and innovation.

A Symphony of Depth & Terroir
Pouring a luxurious dark ruby, this Italian red wine unfolds with intense aromas of wild blackberries, sun-ripened black cherries, and whispers of cured tobacco and baking spices. On the palate, experience remarkable concentration: velvety layers of dark fruit harmonize with crushed minerals and refined tannins, culminating in a persistent, silky-smooth finish that lingers elegantly.

Why This Wine Stands Apart
– Historic Revival: Le Pianelle resurrected near-forgotten local Croatina grapes—sourcing only low-yield vines aged up to 100 years for unparalleled complexity.
– Altitude Advantage: High-elevation vineyards (Traversagna/Santuario) stress grapes naturally, intensifying flavor while preserving vibrant acidity—a hallmark of premium Piedmont wines.
– Artisan Craft: Small-batch vinification captures the authentic character of northern Italy’s terroir—bold yet balanced at 14.5% ABV.

Ideal for collectors seeking distinctive Italian reds or enthusiasts exploring beyond Barolo. Pair with braised meats, truffle dishes, or aged cheeses to elevate your culinary moments.
