BOCCADIGABBIA
Elvidio Alessandri has created a real jewel box for himself with his estate of only 11 hectares. When his '93 Akronte received the 'tre bicchieri' from the 'Gambero rosso', the attention was drawn to this small vineyard in the southern Marche.
Alessandri took the sale of these exceptional wines into his own hands. In the cellar he is advised by the successful oenologist Fabrizio Ciufoli.
Boccadigabbia once belonged to the "hundred estates" of Civitanova, which were under the rule of Napoleon. As before, all the estates and colonial manors in this area bear and honour the capital N in their coat of arms.
