Descrizione

Bricco Boschis di Cavallotto presents itself with the composed bearing of an authentic Barolo: in the glass it shows a garnet color with amber highlights and an aromatic profile that favors clarity over intensity. You can detect notes of dried rose, dark cherry, light earthy hints and a discreet touch of spice. The palate is taut, supported by lively acidity and well-structured yet compact tannins, which give backbone and longevity without being aggressive. The style remains elegant, with a balance between structure and softness that makes the wine suitable both for immediate drinking after a few hours of aeration and for long aging.

The flavor profile is saline and progressively expressive: full-bodied, a balance between freshness and substance, with persistence that leaves fruity and slightly bitter aftertastes. It lends itself to long cellar aging but also rewards now with hearty dishes such as braised meats, game or aged cheeses; serve at around 16–18 °C and decant before service to soften the tannins. An authentic Barolo, of character and measured class.

Winery history

The Cavallotto family has cultivated the Bricco Boschis hill since 1928. After World War II the winery began vinifying its own grapes, a practice firmly established in 1946, and the first Barolo under the Cavallotto label dates back to 1948. Today the estate is run by the next generation, which has preserved unified vineyard management and a focus on the local terroir.

Production philosophy

The estate emphasizes the character of its territory by making wine exclusively from grapes grown in its own vineyards, practicing organic viticulture, and following a winemaking approach focused on minimal intervention.

Terroir and vineyards

The estate is located in Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Langhe, and is known for the cru Bricco Boschis. The vineyards are concentrated on a single hillside and have exposures and altitudes typical of the lower Langa around Alba, favorable to the cultivation of Nebbiolo da Barolo.
