Barolo Bricco Boschis

Full

Cork

Alfio Cavallotto uses roto-fermenters to achieve a slow, gentle maceration with a semi-submerged cap. This is followed by long ageing in Slavonian oak casks of various sizes up to 100 hectolitres. As always, the 2021 Bricco Boschis marches to the beat of its own drum – with absolute character. Savoury and a bit wild, it wafts with smoke, meat and chestnut before revealing pressed violet, dark sour cherry and currants. Tar and porcini nuances lurk at its depths. Full, with vigorous earthy tannins, this is dense but not compacted. Chalky minerals snap on the finish. Bury this in the cellar.
