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 2021 offers up an exotic mélange of black cherry, licorice, new leather, espresso, menthol and dried herbs. Full-bodied and still youthfully austere - a good thing for a wine that is destined for lengthy aging – the delicious palate delivers ripe Marasca cherry, black raspberry, truffle, crushed mint and star anise before a blood orange finish. This is an especially fine Bricco Boschis, a Barolo that finds the Cavallotto family in very fine form.
