Tasting Notes: 95 pts RP Wine Advocate - This estate is certainly the most prolific interpreter of the hilltop Bricco Boschis MGA in Castiglione Falletto. The Cavallotto 2019 Barolo Bricco Boschis (a certified organic wine) would benefit from more time in the bottle. I encountered many Barolos in 2019 that reveal a slightly reductive approach that bodes well for long cellaring. This wine is characterized by velvety black fruit that is framed by dusty nuances of crushed limestone. It builds focus and precision with more time in the glass.

Ageing/Vinification: Full destemming, fermentation with indigenous yeasts only. Use of horizontal tanks and controlled temperature at 29°C. Traditional fermentation with semi-submerged cap. Total maceration time: 30-35 days. Malolactic Fermentation in cement tanks during springtime following the harvest. Cask ageing for 36 months in Slavonian Oak botti of 20-30-50-80-100 hl. Aged in bottle 6-12 months before release into the market.

Vineyard: Vineyards are located in the MGA Bricco Boschis – Nebbiolo for Barolom 100% coming from the parcels of Colle Sud Ovest, Vigna Punta Marcello and Vigna San Giuseppe.
