BoscoRiccio 2021
Rocca di Castagnoli
BoscoRiccio was born as a dedication to our territory, the name Bosco in Italian represents the forest, that which surrounds us and with which we have lived in symbiosis for centuries, Riccio is a hedgehog, a clear reference to the Chestnut tree from which our winery takes its name. Thus was born BoscoRiccio a wine designed to be a hymn to conviviality, good drinking and the joy of being together in a carefree and fun way. We wanted to produce a fresh, youthful, colorful and convivial wine. An "easy" and carefree wine, because not weighed down by too much rhetoric that often surrounds the world of wine, it has a soul a bit Funk and a bit Rock. We produced it with what we like.
