Cavallotto Barolo Bricco Boschis 2021

Cavallotto Barolo Bricco Boschis is the estate's emblematic wine, a blend drawn from three parcels of the amphitheatre-shaped cru the family has farmed for generations.

Bricco Boschis is a monopole-like holding in Castiglione Falletto, in the middle of the Barolo zone, where Nebbiolo on calcareous marl gives perfume as well as structure. The average vine age is around 50 years. Punta Marcello, at the top of the slope beside the cantina, is the cool part of the site and gives fragrant, pale juice with long, angular tannins. Vigna Colle Sudovest faces south at lower elevation and is the warmest microclimate here, producing fleshier, darker fruit and softer tannins. A portion of Vigna San Giuseppe fruit completes the blend. Fermentation ran 28 to 30 days on skins, followed by three years in large Slavonian oak casks of 20 to 100 hectolitres. The wine was bottled unfiltered.

It will come into its own from around 2030 and hold well beyond; serve at 16-18C with brasato al Barolo, roast duck or aged Parmigiano.
