The 2019 Barolos are creating quite a buzz, and it looks like they will be epic, long-lived, amazing wines. It is one of those vintages that I think will be talked about for years to come, even though it is surrounded by other very good vintages.

The new Cavallotto Bricco Boschis is a great example of the vintage, but from a very unique and special vineyard. We just tasted this bottle, and it is fantastic. So full of energy and youth, vibrant acidity and mouth-filling earthy fruit flavors, It really opened up nicely after a few hours, showing great depth. I can't wait to see what it does after a few years in the cellar!

 Dating back to the 18^th Century, an estate and vineyard

called Monte della Guardia was eventually the property of the Countess Juliette Colbert. But she left the estate to her vineyard manager, Giuseppe Boschis, in 1928. It was Giuseppe’s sons that built the cellars in 1948 and launched the brand Cavallotto, adding the cru “Bricco Boschis” in 1967. It is this single estate that is the heart of the Cavallotto winery and family. Today the next generation farms organically on the same hill.

“One family, one cellar, one unique hill: the Bricco Boschis and the Cavallotto Winery; a family of grape-growers for generations. This is a place rich in history where the vines found their ideal home, in a superb microclimate and with geologic structures that contain an ideal mix of calcareous marl and sand.”

Rose, violet, new leather and forest floor are just some of the aromas you’ll find on Cavallotto’s excellent 2019 Bricco Boschis. Full-bodied and still youthfully austere, it shows great aging potential, delivering juicy red cherry, wild raspberry, star anise and tangy mineral notes suggesting rusty iron, all set against a backbone of tightly knit, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity lends balance and great energy. Drink 2029–2049. Abv: 14.5% Kerin O’Keefe

This estate is certainly the most prolific interpreter of the hilltop Bricco Boschis MGA in Castiglione Falletto. The Cavallotto 2019 Barolo Bricco Boschis (a certified organic wine) would benefit from more time in the bottle. I encountered many Barolos in 2019 that reveal a slightly reductive approach that bodes well for long cellaring. This wine is characterized by velvety black fruit that is framed by dusty nuances of crushed limestone. It builds focus and precision with more time in the glass. - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
