Description
Still organic red wine from Barolo DOCG, 14.5% ABV, produced by Cavallotto in Castiglione Falletto, Piedmont. 100% Nebbiolo, 2019 vintage. A Barolo Riserva that embodies the history of a family that has cultivated the Bricco Boschis vineyards since 1928. Complete destemming, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, semi-submerged cap maceration for 18-30 days. Aged for 48-60 months in Slavonian oak barrels. An aristocratic bouquet interwoven with menthol and mineral notes blended with jammy berry fruit, roses and violets, humus, roots, and oriental spices. Intense and luminous garnet color. Harmonious and savory on the palate, beautifully structured, with noble tannins and a pulpy fruitiness.
