BAROLO 2011 BRICCO BOSCHIS CAVALLOTTO

The history

One family, one cellar, one unique hill: the Bricco Boschis and the Cavallotto Winery; a family of grape-growers for generations.

This is a place rich in history where the vines found their ideal home, in a superb microclimate and with geologic structures that contain an ideal mix of calcareous marl and sand.

In 1989 the family acquired 60% of the historic Vignolo Cru and were the first to bottle this cru on its own as the Cavallotto Barolo Riserva Vignolo.

Since 1995, the vineyard plots of Colle Sudovest and Punta Marcello were reborn as a “normal” Barolo with the name of Cru Bricco Boschis.

Since the end of the 1980’s, Olivio’s children Alfio, Giuseppe and Laura have continued the work of gradual growth and constant quality improvements begun by their father and uncle.

The cellars were also expanded: in 1994, a new barrel aging cellar was excavated into the Bricco Boschis hill and was attached to the existing bottling and aging areas, and in 2008 the bottle aging cellar was expanded.

Tasting Notes

The 2011 vintage was a vintage of extremes; one that showed two radically different faces at different parts of the year.

Our Barolo Bricco Boschis shows the perfume and generosity of fruit & flowers  that come from the heat at the end of the season, but with a foundation of cool-vintage acid and tannins that give this wine both its  structure and potential longevity.

This is a wine that can be enjoyed earlier than other vintages, but has the complexity and structure to reward several years of cellaring.

Long, dry and precisely focused finish.

Pairings

This wine finds its best matches at the table, with first courses of prosciutto, salami, Alba beef tartare and vitello tonnato.

The wine is best with second courses of red meat in general, but also grilled fish or white meats, or with hard and aged cheeses.

Desserts with dark chocolate are also a good match, or it can be enjoyed as a “vino da meditazione” (a wine for meditation) by itself.
