2021 Barolo, Bricco Boschis, F.lli Cavallotto
The organic Cavallotto 2021 Barolo Bricco Boschis shows tightness and firmness at this young age, and we can expect this pretty wine to soften and unwind slowly with bottle evolution. There are aromas of tart cherry, redcurrant, iris root and sweet spice delicately layered over a solid, medium-plus mouthfeel. However, what stands out most in the Bricco Boschis is the extreme focus and sharpness of its fruit flavors. This 7.3-hectare site has 45-year-old vines that enjoy panoramic southeast and southwest exposures at 230 to 350 meters in elevation. This wine ages in Slavonian oak casks for 36 months (both 20-hectoliter and 100-hectoliter foudre). Production is 22,000 bottles and 1,000 magnums. ~ (95) Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 6-19-2025
The 2021 Barolo Bricco Boschis is just as impressive from bottle as it was from tank a few months ago. Dark and mysterious in the glass, the 2021 offers up an exotic mélange of black cherry, licorice, new leather, espresso, menthol and dried herbs. This is an especially fine Bricco Boschis, a Barolo that finds the Cavallotto family in very fine form. ~ (92) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 5-1-2025
Lustrous crimson. It echoes the 2020 Bricco Boschis with its cranberry and garden-herb notes and a touch of tamarind. Still embryonic and, with aeration, becomes pure and focused raspberry fruit. Captivating, racy acidity over cranberry and raspberry fruit on a layer of super-fine, tactile tannins, increasing even more the wine’s complexity. Very long and wired and almost linear. ~ (17) Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com 11-29-2024
Packed with sweet, ripe fruit, this red features cherry, raspberry and plum flavors, plus a hint of blood orange, all shaded by earth, menthol and tar. Defined by vivid acidity, with dense, chalky tannins underneath. Long finish. All of the elements are there; this just needs time. Best from 2029 through 2046. 2,000 cases made, 500 cases imported. ~ (95) Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator 11-30-2025
