Product Description
Cavallotto Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe Barolo Riserva DOCG 2013
From the historic Bricco Boschis vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, this Barolo Riserva represents the pinnacle of traditional Piedmontese winemaking. The 2013 vintage, rated ★★★★★ for Nebbiolo health, showcases the elegance and longevity of this noble grape.
Tasting Profile
A luminous garnet hue introduces an aromatic bouquet of rose petals, violets, and dark cherry, with subtle notes of licorice and mineral undertones. The palate is linear yet complex, unfolding layers of raspberry, hibiscus, and sweet spices, supported by refined tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long and precise, with a refreshing mineral edge that speaks to its calcareous-clay terroir.
Winemaking & Terroir
- 100% Nebbiolo from 6.23 hectares of south-facing slopes (Colle Sud-Ovest, Punto Marcello)
- 30-35 day maceration with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled tanks
- Extended aging: 36-42 months in Slavonian oak botti (20-100hl), plus 6+ years in bottle
- Low yields (38 hl/ha) ensuring concentrated fruit
Vintage Character
The cool 2013 growing season—marked by a rainy winter and dry summer—produced Nebbiolo with classic structure and aging potential. While approachable now with decanting, this Riserva will peak 2025–2040.
Why It Stands Out
Cavallotto’s commitment to traditional methods (Slavonian botti, no barriques) preserves the purity of Bricco Boschis’ terroir, earning acclaim as one of Barolo’s most transparent expressions.
