This is a brilliant new wine from Le Piane, this is one of the most elegant-yet-aromatically powerful wines made in Piedmont. The vines are grown in a deeply traditional method not found anywhere else. See below for the full story.

“Maggiorina” has grown as a brand and has a strong connection to the history of this place. It can be easily communicated and has great appeal to our customers. However, it was perceived as a cheaper basic wine, which is counterproductive, considering the intensive hand-work in the vineyards of 50-100 years. Moreover 3 hectares (of our 11ha) are cultivated with Maggiorina trellising system and thus represent an important part of our production.. We used the 2022 vintage to vinify the individual lots that will make up this new “La Maggiorina” separately, in order to develop an appropriate blend that will remain stable over the years. The idea always has been a mixed field-blend from the oldest historical vineyards and more than 13 varieties (including white and aromatic grapes) play the most important role. The new “La Maggiorina” will be aged in wood and appear on the market after two years. With a small change in the name putting the article “LA” in front we return to the first production from 2000-2008 where we used the name “La Maggiorina” (The Maggiorina). The name “La Maggiorina” gives more importance to this wine as an exclusive wine of the old trellising system. The colour of the label changes from a fresh green to deep forest green. Picked as a field blend and matured 2 years in large oak barrels (Botti Grande) it expresses the complexity of Boca's long viticultural history. It combines dark fruit, savouriness and spiciness with great drinkability. We proudly keep some fields planted with the traditional “Maggiorina” system, with three vines developing upwards in the four points of the compass, to form a goblet. For hundreds of years it was the only system used here; and Alessandro Antonelli, the architect who built the Mole Antonelliana in Turin and the huge Sanctuary of Boca, further improved it to be more resistant to wind and weather. Antonelli was a native of the nearby village of Maggiora."
