All of the grapes for this wine come from the single 'cru' 'Bricco Boschis,' a beautiful ridge in Castiglione Falletto with wide views of both the sunrise and the sunset. This is classic Castiglione Falletto Barolo – combining the clear fruit notes of La Morra and Barolo itself (strawberry, red-currant) with botanical elements, supported by middling dark-chocolate tannins; it's firmer than La Morra, but not as beefy as Serralunga. The 2018 Barolo Bricco Boschis is a powerhouse, an old style Barolo typical of Alfio Cavallotto and his passion for authentic wines. A blast of sweet dark cherry, menthol, licorice, gravel and incense hit immediately; prunes and leather, leafy lightness, a touch of orange and an almost grapefruit note are sustained by firm acidity on a large, full, vibrant palate built for the long haul, filled out with youthful fruit concentration.
