Barolo Bricco Boschis 2019

Description

It is immediately charming, in the very fine aromas of underbrush and cherry, sweet in their way, that is to say, with a sweetness that is not flashy or superficial, but rather naturally and inevitably linked to the stylistic features of a hot vintage, and which allows the wine to present itself gracefully while implying power and depth. But, despite the 14 and a half degrees in alcohol, it is not the alcohol that you will feel when drinking it. On the contrary, the taste is fresh and taut, perhaps without the complexity of the best vintages, but without even a drop in savouriness and closed by good tannin: robust, although we are still talking about Barolo, without edges, without dryness, silky. More than eight years have passed since the harvest, and here we find a wine in total ageing momentum, certainly worth drinking, in perfect balance, and who knows for how many more years.

At the gates of Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Barolo Zone, on the slopes of the Bricco Boschis, one finds the Cavallotto Winery, which lies on 25 hectares of land. Since 1928, the Cavallotto family has owned the estate Tenuta Bricco Boschis. In 1946, they were the first cultivators in Castiglione Falletto to vinify all of their estate’s fruit. In 1948 they released the first bottling of their own BAROLO wine, with the label and registered trademark of Cavallotto.

Today the children of Olivio – Laura, Giuseppe and Alfio, the 4th generation working the family farm – continue to exclusively vinify the grapes produced in their estate vineyards into DOC and DOCG wines: Barolo, Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba, Langhe Nebbiolo, Langhe Freisa, Langhe "Grign" made from Grignolino grapes, Langhe Chardonnay and "Pinner" made from Pinot Nero grapes.
