Cavallotto 2018 'Bricco Boschis' Barolo, Piedmont, Italy
Farming: Certified Organic
Winemaker/Chef du Cave: Giuseppe Cavallotto
Established in 1948, Cavallotto was one of the first families of the area to bottle. The family farms one contiguous hiil, Bricco Boschis, in Castiglione Falletto. They are the sole owners of this hill and the only ones to bottle Bricco Boschis. The Cavallotto’s are firm believers in organic farming, they worked with the local university to develop methods that worked for their particular climate. They no longer use copper or sulfur in the vineyard, opting for essential oils of grapefruit seed and other less intrusive remedies to treat the vineyard.
Grape Varieties: Nebbiolo
Terroir: Nebbiolo for Barolo 100% coming from the parcels of Colle Sud Ovest, Vigna Punta Marcello and Vigna San Giuseppe. The Bricco Boschis cru shows an extraordinary mix of white, yellow and grey marls, punctuated by layers of sand. The mix of soils gives the wine from this cru characteristics from both the east and west subzones of Barolo.
Vinification/Oak Usage: Fermented with indigenous yeasts, macerated with submerged cap for 20-35 days. Traditional in Slavonian Oak Casks for 3-3.5 years. Bottle aging 6-12 months before release into the market.
Tasting Note: Optimal structure but with already-soft tannins, and with an open, intense perfume that gives this Barolo characteristics of both power and great elegance. Complex and fragrant, can be enjoyed young but has great aging potential.
