Description
What kind of wine it is
Barolo Bricco Boschis by Cavallotto is an organic red wine that enhances the sensory complexity of Nebbiolo. Its aromatic profile opens with floral notes of rose and violet, intertwined with hints of cherry, orange zest, liquorice and chocolate. On the palate, it is structured and linear, offering sweet and silky tannins perfectly balanced by freshness and clear minerality. This significant structure provides a long finish, capable of evolving elegantly over time. At the table, it pairs well with Piedmontese dishes and mature cheeses, making it ideal also as a meditation wine.
Where it comes from
The roots of this oenological expression originate in Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of Barolo, within the Bricco Boschis cru. The vines grow on historic plots cultivated organically, with plantings dating back to the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. The perfect south and south-west exposure ensures, together with excellent air circulation, a harmonious development of the grape clusters. In this microclimate, surrounded by rich natural biodiversity, Nebbiolo achieves regular ripening, giving the sip marked precision of flavour and intense aromatics.
How it is produced
The production process begins with the total destemming of carefully selected bunches. Fermentation starts spontaneously in temperature-controlled horizontal tanks, driven solely by indigenous yeasts. This is followed by maceration with a semi-submerged cap for a period ranging from eighteen to thirty days, encouraging optimal phenolic extraction. After spring malolactic fermentation in cement vats, the wine rests for at least thirty-six months in Slavonian oak barrels. The long ageing process concludes with a final rest before release, thus defining its captivating flavour profile.
History and Curiosities
Born on the Cavallotto family estate in Castiglione Falletto, Bricco Boschis expresses the most authentic soul of Barolo DOCG through the legacy of historic vineyards planted between the 1920s and 1940s. In full respect of tradition, the must ferments exclusively thanks to the action of indigenous yeasts, preserving the true essence of the prestigious original plots. This synergy between nature and artisanal expertise culminates in a maturation of at least 36 months in Slavonian oak barrels, bestowing the wine with timeless elegance.
