Complex dark fruit, herbs, toasty earth, and savory spice intermingle on top of a core of grippy tannin and focused acidity. A stand out from the vintage that will reward with time in the cellar.

Left Other Spain

The village of Castiglione Falletto is rich with superstars—Giuseppe Mascarello, Brovia, Vietti, Scavino—and Cavallotto stands easily with the best of them. Of this elite group, Cavallotto's wines stand out for their deep fruit, brooding structure, rose petal aromatics, and incredible longevity.

Most of Cavallotto's grapes come from a hill called Bricco Boschis. Cavallotto owns all of it. Thanks to a mostly southern exposure at high altitude and a complex mix of limestone and clay, it's considered one of the top crus of a village known for many great crus. Cavallotto's San Giuseppe Riserva is made from the best grapes from the vineyard's oldest vines, mid-slope.

Cavallotto's other Riserva comes from Vignolo. It is next door to Bricco Boschis and just a little lower down the slope. The wine tends to be less powerful and more floral, and is perfect for drinking on a slightly earlier timescale than the San Giuseppe.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2021 Barolo Bricco Boschis is a deep, dense wine. Black cherry, plum, mocha, new leather, licorice and cloves are all amplified in this decidedly potent, strapping young Barolo. There's plenty of punch here, that much is evident. I can't wait to taste this from bottle." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 95
"The organic Cavallotto 2021 Barolo Bricco Boschis shows tightness and firmness at this young age, and we can expect this pretty wine to soften and unwind slowly with bottle evolution. There are aromas of tart cherry, redcurrant, iris root and sweet spice delicately layered over a solid, medium-plus mouthfeel. However, what stands out most in the Bricco Boschis is the extreme focus and sharpness of its fruit flavors. This 7.3-hectare site has 45-year-old vines that enjoy panoramic southeast and southwest exposures at 230 to 350 meters in elevation. This wine ages in Slavonian oak casks for 36 months (both 20-hectoliter and 100-hectoliter foudre). Production is 22,000 bottles and 1,000 magnums." -Monica Larner

Wine Spectator

WS 95
"Packed with sweet, ripe fruit, this red features cherry, raspberry and plum flavors, plus a hint of blood orange, all shaded by earth, menthol and tar. Defined by vivid acidity, with dense, chalky tannins underneath. Long finish. All of the elements are there; this just needs time. Best from 2029 through 2046."
