2019 Cavallotto - Barolo Bricco Boschis (750ml)

Originating from the historic slopes of Serralunga d’Alba, the 2019 Cavallotto Barolo Bricco Boschis is a single-vineyard expression crafted entirely from mature Nebbiolo vines established in the late 1950s. Located between the celebrated Bussia and Rocche di Castiglione sub-zones, this cru delivers the pronounced limestone terroir and vertical structure characteristic of Serralunga while retaining the polished ripeness of the balanced 2019 growing season.

A light garnet core transitions into a fragrant bouquet of preserved roses, wild strawberry, dried tobacco leaf, and wet stone. The palate exhibits a defined, grippy tannic architecture anchored by bright natural acidity. Concentrated red berry and black plum flavors weave through secondary notes of leather, licorice root, and sun-baked clay, culminating in a lengthy, savory finish that lingers on dried herbs. Already showing harmonious integration after brief bottle aging, this wine is built for extended cellaring, reaching optimal maturity between now and 2045.

The wine’s structural weight and earth-driven minerality pair precisely with slow-cooked, collagen-rich proteins. Recommended servings include traditional brasato al Barolo, wild boar ragù, roasted game birds, or mushroom risotto. Aged hard cheeses like Castelmagno or forty-month Parmigiano Reggiano complement its polyphenolic backbone naturally. For best delivery, decant for fifty to sixty minutes prior to service to soften the primary astringency and unlock the deeper floral layers.
