Elke dag komen toeristen en wijnliefhebbers van over de hele wereld naar de schoonheid en de geheimen van deze heuvels, de geboorteplaats van de meest beroemde Italiaanse wijn: Barolo
De eerste dingen om de aandacht van deze bezoekers te trekken zijn de opgeruimde rijen wijngaarden van Nebbiolo op de Boschetti-heuvel, die boven de rode daken van de dorpswoningen en de trotse, prachtige merlons van het kasteel van de familie Falletti, markiezen van Barolo ( 1307-1838).
De Nebbiolo-wijngaarden van de Boschetti-heuvel zijn al vele jaren eigendom van de familie Gomba en de enige Boschetti cru van Barolo is die van Sergio Gomba.
Als Barolo het hart van de Langhe is, is Boschetti het hart van Barolo.
“Sprekende handen”
Ken je Sergio Gomba? Misschien is het gemakkelijker om zijn wijnen te kennen. Het verhaal vertellen betekent de resultaten onthullen van een levenswerk, stoer en capabel. Een leven dat de laatste 25 jaar is besteed aan het cultiveren van een droom: de wedergeboorte van Cascina Boschetti, net boven het dorp Barolo. Sergio Gomba’s werk heeft het huis en de wijngaarden veranderd in een prachtig landgoed op een van de mooiste locaties in het hart van de Barolo DOCG. “Het werk heeft me nooit bang gemaakt, zelfs nu ik een bepaalde leeftijd heb”, zegt hij zonder nadruk, deze man met weinig woorden.
Om hem te begrijpen kijk je gewoon naar zijn handen …

Manual harvesting with selection of the bunches. Pruning: Guyot. Density: 4.400 vines per hectare The Vintage 2017 Mild temperatures and low rainfall in January and early February. Spring began with a considerable amount of rain, though it did not cause any plant disease damage because of the not high average temperatures. The summer began slowly but extended until the end of September giving us very healthy grapes. All varieties including Nebbiolo achieved the full ripening. In particular, the second half of September was crucial for the components which will go into determining the structure of the wines, above-all as regards the accumulation of color and tannins. The Wine Vinification: soft destemming and crushing, maceration on skins for 9-10 days and temperature controlled fermentation. It is left to mature in oak cask and in stainless steel tanks till bottling.
