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
Barolo Bricco Boschis 2013 shows all the characteristics of this cool, classic growing season from the first perfumes to the finish. The nose is floral, with rose, violet and hibiscus elements framing dark cherry and raspberry notes. In the mouth, the calm, linear mouthfeel allows all the wines complex characteristics of reveal themselves: ripe, fresh cherries, licorice, mineral notes, sweet tannins and a long, precise and fresh finish. This will requires some patience for consumers, but will be worth the wait<\/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":"
