Cavallotto Barolo Bricco Boschis Riserva Vigna San Giuseppe 2019

Barolo Bricco Boschis Riserva Vigna San Giuseppe 2019 from Cavallotto is a red wine made from Nebbiolo. It comes from the San Giuseppe vineyard of about 2.45 hectares, part of the Bricco Boschis cru in Castiglione Falletto in the Langhe, south-west facing and planted in 1961. Vinification uses natural yeasts with semi-submerged cap maceration of 22 to 38 days, and ageing lasts 4 to 5 years in Slavonian oak barrels followed by 12 months in bottle. Granite red in colour. The nose expresses complex aromas of forest fruits, violet and liquorice, with a clear mineral imprint. On the palate it opens with magnificent structure and great balance, enveloping the palate with silky tannins and elegant notes of blackberry jam. It finishes long and infinitely harmonious. It pairs wonderfully with roast meats and braises, game, moderately elaborate first courses, grilled fish and aged hard cheeses.
