Cavallotto – Barolo Bricco Boschis – 2015

The Cavallotto winery is rich in history. It is located in Castiglione Falletto, and is one of the rare cases to be wholly owner of the Bricco Boschis cru, one of the most famous in the area.
The history of this vineyard was born in the mid-1800s, precisely in conjunction with the birth of Barolo wine, thanks to the Marquise Juliette Colbert Falletti of Barolo who entrusted the work of the vineyard to Giuseppe Boschis, since then the hill has taken the name Bricco Boschis. In 1928 the entire property was purchased by Giacomo Cavallotto, creating the Bricco Boschis Estate.
From the 1940s the Cavallotto family began to vinify their own grapes, but only from the 1960s will the name of the Bricco Boschis vineyard be mentioned in their Barolo.
The story continues from generation to generation to the present day, where Alfio, Giuseppe and Laura maintain the family tradition and the qualitative continuity of the wines.
The cellar is enveloped in a super traditional aura, the aging rooms are underground, covered by tuff at a constant temperature of 15 degrees, and only large barrels are used for the aging of wines, especially for Barolos.
The merit of this estate, which despite being the owner of an entire vineyard with a beautiful location from Nebbiolo da Barolo (southwest), also produces minor wines such as Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa and Langhe Nebbiolo. The Barolos, on the other hand, are produced only in the best vintages, precisely to enhance the quality, fame and austerity that this wine brings with it.
Even in the vineyard, maximum respect for the land and plants, so much so that they were the first in the Langa to focus on non-interventionist agriculture, until they were then certified organic.
Wines of class, of tradition, complex, without frills, but with a great evolutionary capacity. If you want to drink Cavallotto wines, don’t be in a hurry… .they are wines of other times!
The Barolo Bricco Boschis is the symbol of the winery, it comes from various parts of the vineyard from the homonymous cru. The wine carries out the classic traditional 3-year aging in large oak barrels, plus one in the bottle. In the 2016 vintage you will find a great wine, structured, complex, but with a potential of 30 years. To be enjoyed and kept over time!
In the 2015 vintage you will find a structured wine but with notes that play with sweeter and more mellow aromas, and a bit softer in the mouth, thanks to this beautiful vintage that plays more on drinkability.
