Description
Experience the pinnacle of Barolo craftsmanship with Cavallotto’s critically acclaimed 2016 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe. Born from certified organic Nebbiolo vines in the heart of Piedmont’s prestigious Castiglione Falletto, this exceptional wine captures the magic of an extraordinary vintage and a legendary terroir.
Crafted from 60-year-old southwest-facing vines on a breathtaking ridge, this limited-production Riserva (only 8,794 bottles made) undergoes meticulous winemaking: 28 days of skin contact in steel tanks, spring fermentation in cement, and an impressive 60 months aging in Slavonian oak barrels. The result? A powerful yet elegant Barolo destined for greatness.
Critics unanimously praise its brilliance:
* 99 Points Wine Enthusiast: Hails its stunning complexity – woodland berries, pipe tobacco, forest floor, balsamic camphor, new leather, ripe Morello cherry, licorice, clove, and iron notes framed by fine-grained tannins and bright acidity.
* 98 Points Wine Advocate & Wine Spectator: Celebrate its perfect balance and inner energy – a captivating fusion of dark fruit, dried cherry, wild plum, rose, iron ore, pure cherry, strawberry, currant, and mineral undertones.
* 95 Points Vinous: Notes its powerhouse structure and evocative potential – brooding dark fruit wrapped in huge tannins, revealing licorice, spice, leather, menthol, incense, and black cherry with air.
While youthfully austere now with its firm structure and tightly knit tannins, this age-worthy Italian red promises extraordinary evolution. Its vibrant acidity ensures impeccable balance beneath layers of complex flavor. Expect a profound expression of Barolo terroir – a liquid tapestry woven with fruit intensity, mineral depth (especially the signature iron notes), rose florals, spice, and earth. Perfect for collectors seeking an iconic 2016 Barolo Riserva with undeniable pedigree and cellar potential. Decant generously to unlock its nascent grandeur.
