Tasting Notes: Opening to a dark Nebbiolo color, the organic Cavallotto 2020 Barolo Bricco Boschis is a little richer in this vintage. The quality of aromas also takes on a bigger profile with dried blackberry, licorice and earthy black truffle. This apparently comes from the fruit but is also shaped by the wine's long aging regime that sees 36 months in Slavonian oak casks. As a result, the delicate mineral and floral nuances that are an important feature of this wine are less prominent in 2020. This is a release of 18,582 bottles.

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.
