Proefnotitie Barolo Bricco Boschis 2017
Floraal in de neus met elementen van rozen, hibiscus en viooltjes met donkere en rode fruittonen, o.a. gedroogde kersen, bramen en pruim.
Smaak: Een Barolo met alle karakteristieken die je mag verwachten, rijp fruit, fris donker fruit (kers), minerale tonen, zoete rijpe tannine, een lange afdronk met wat ontwikkeling en aardse tonen. Een wijn die tijd nodig heeft om zich optimaal te presenteren.
Drinken: 2024 – 2040
Beoordeling wijnpers: R. Parker: 94/100

Available in numbered bottles, the organic Cavallotto 2017 Barolo Bricco Boschis is a generous and fleshed out expression that opens to immediate aromas of cherry, wild plum and cassis. There are floral notes as well, and some spice, licorice and grilled herb. Like many of the Barolos I tasted from this vintage, the bouquet is accessible and generous now, but the wine is tannic and more austere in terms of mouthfeel, requiring extra bottle age. The hope is that both the bouquet and the palate will evolve at the same pace. From 45-year-old vines, this was a release of exactly 19,410 bottles and 999 magnums.

Five generations of the Cavallotto family have been making wine at this 25-hectare estate in Castiglione Falletto. In addition to the Barolo Bricco Boschis tasted here, Cavallotto makes two excellent Riservas: Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe and Riserva Vignolo. Today, heirs Alfio, Giuseppe and Laura continue to produce the noninterventionist wines that have earned this estate a steady and enthusiastic following.

Alfio Cavallotto and his family have farmed organically since 1976. In 2008, they started to reduce the use of copper, finally eliminating it by 2013, thereby cleaning the soils of metal buildup. These are excellent wines from a unique position. Bricco Boschis is located at the center of the Barolo growing region, and it links the eastern part of the appellation (Serralunga d’Alba and Monforte d’Alba) to the western side (where La Morra and Barolo are found).
