About the Producer:
For many world
travelers, the name Gianfranco Bovio will call to mind restaurant
Belvedere in Piemonte, which is famous for its breathtaking panoramic
view of La Morra as well as its outstanding cuisine. But for the proprietor
a world renowned restaurant was not enough. In 1977, just a few years
after taking control of Belvedere, Gianfranco dove into a new project
dedicated to rebuilding his father’s wine estate, which at that
point comprised just three hectares of Nebbiolo and Dolcetto. He went
on to purchase seven more hectares and enlisted the expertise of Walter
Porasso, who still oversees every step of production with some aid
from consultants Beppe Caviola and Federico Curtaz. Bovio’s
project has been an unmistakable success, creating a wide range of
wines that exemplify the terroir of La Morra. Bovio is now comprised
of 10 hectares of crus in the prime slopes of Arborina, Gattera, and
Rocchettevino. Here in La Morra with his respectful approach to Barolo,
Bovio brings out the more feminine characteristics of Nebbiolo, typically
displaying notes of earth, flowers, and elegance.
