Wine: two numbered labels for 30th anniversary ‘Luigi Boveri’

Filari di Timorasso and Vignalunga Barbera debut.

(ANSA) – TORTONA, MAY 11 – Two new labels to celebrate 30 years in business at Luigi Boveri winery in Costa Vescovato, Alessandria. They are ‘Filari di Timorasso Colli Tortonesi Doc 2015’ and ‘Vignalunga Barbera Colli
Tortonesi Doc 2015. “Timorasso is the Highlander of our Hills,” explains Luigi Boveri, “in the 1990s we had 6 or 7 rows, today 6 hectares. This is precisely where the name of the Cru Filari di Timorasso comes from, reminding us of where we started.” The
second, on the other hand, is the wine of Boveri’s heart: 1995 saw the release of the first label of Vignalunga, from vineyards more than 90 years old; it takes its name from the vineyard that his father Leopoldo had to sell many years earlier. Numbered in a limited edition, the 2 labels kick off the year-long celebration of a 30-year history starring Luigi Boveri and his wife Germana Ciccotti. “They are a gift we wanted to give ourselves, to witness this important milestone, which sees us united with our children Francesco, Matteo and Sara.”

The official launch on May 19 in Milan at a day reserved for the trade press. The company’s new tasting room will open in a few weeks. (ANSA).
