Tasting notes
The 2018 Barolo Bricco Boschis pours a deep ruby and has spiced and enveloping aromatics of cigar box, leather, pure red cherry, and turned earth. This medium-bodied red is approachable and graceful, with moderate tannins and good concentration in its notes of Earl Grey tea, blood orange, and raspberry liqueur. Drink 2024-2044.

Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. A cool nose with herbal notes and touches of sweet ripe fruit and a hint of old leather. Supple fruit lightened up by bright acidity and grainy tannins that are a little demanding right now. Long yet subdued marasca cherry finish. (WS)
Castiglione Falletto. Lustrous mid ruby. Balsamic, deep fruit nose with savoury minerally notes. Suave and lush without being heavy on the palate and with fine gritty tannins that demand more time in the bottle. Perfect balance but far from ready. (WS)
The Cavallotto 2018 Barolo Bricco Boschis (a certified organic wine) is a lovely expression with fruit from one of the most beautiful sites in Castiglione Falletto, measuring 7.3 hectares. The wine is streamlined and tight with forest berry, blackcurrant and spice. It is taut and silky, showing fruit that has been shaped by cool nights and warm days. Bricco Boschis always delivers a special sense of sharpness and focus. Production is 23,747 bottles and 1,333 magnums.
