Rose violet new leather and forest floor are just some of the aromas you’ll find on Cavallotto’s excellent 2019 Bricco Boschis. Full-bodied and still youthfully austere it shows great aging potential delivering juicy red cherry wild raspberry star anise and tangy mineral notes suggesting rusty iron all set against a backbone of tightly knit fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity lends balance and great energy. Drink 2029?2049. Abv: 14.5% Kerin O’Keefe March 2023

This estate is certainly the most prolific interpreter of the hilltop Bricco Boschis MGA in Castiglione Falletto. The Cavallotto 2019 Barolo Bricco Boschis (a certified organic wine) would benefit from more time in the bottle. I encountered many Barolos in 2019 that reveal a slightly reductive approach that bodes well for long cellaring. This wine is characterized by velvety black fruit that is framed by dusty nuances of crushed limestone. It builds focus and precision with more time in the glass. Some 18,800 bottles were released.
