Cavallotto, Barolo Bricco Boschis 2016
CRITIC REVIEWS
Stephen Brook
Cavallotto has long produced classic Barolos from its holdings in Castiglione Falletto, and 2016 is no exception. Bricco Boschis is a warm site with many old vines. The nose offers very ripe raspberry-coulis fruit but is far from overblown. The attack is fresh but full of fruit, with none of the savoury tones that sometimes mar their wines. Robust thanks to its ripe tannins, it shows plenty of energy and pep. Spicy and long.
Walter Speller
Castiglione Falletto. Tasted blind. Mid ruby. Deep balsamic nose, and really complex but still quite subdued at the same time. Hint of Moroccan leather. Brooding, sour-cherry fruit with plenty of concentration. Very slow to unfurl. Lots of sandy tannins and acidity cutting through the concentrated fruit. Slow burner. (WS)
