One family, one cellar, one unique hill: the Bricco Boschis and the Cavallotto Winery; a family of grape-growers for generations.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Since 1995, the vineyard plots of Colle Sudovest and Punta Marcello were reborn as a \u201cnormal\u201d Barolo with the name of Cru Bricco Boschis.<\/p>\n
Since the end of the 1980\u2019s, Olivio\u2019s children Alfio, Giuseppe and Laura have continued the work of gradual growth and constant quality improvements begun by their father and uncle.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The character of the 2012 vintage shows cleanly through in the elegant, restrained Barolo Bricco Boschis.<\/p>\n
The nose shows characteristic aromas of red and black cherries, with summer herbs, anise and penetrating floral notes.<\/p>\n
In the mouth, the nuanced flavors of cherries, raspberries and hints of eucalyptus are wrapped around a balanced yet subtle tannic structure.<\/p>\n
The finish is long and focused, with mineral and berry flavors.<\/p>\n
The warm but not overly hot growing conditions gave us excellent fruit-acid integrating and they are in harmony with the tannins and alcohol.<\/p>\n
This is a gentler, less austere iteration of the Bricco Boschis Barolo that will need about a decade to reach its drinking window<\/p>\n
This wine finds its best matches at the table, with first courses of prosciutto, salami, Alba beef tartare and vitello tonnato.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Desserts with dark chocolate are also a good match, or it can be enjoyed as a \u201cvino da meditazione\u201d (a wine for meditation) by itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
