Hailing from the firm?s prime vineyard in the Bricco Boschis cru Cavallotto?s magnificent 2017 Riserva Vigna San Giuseppe opens with classic Barolo aromas of new leather forest floor tobacco and ripe berry that mingle with floral scents of dog rose and iris. Full-bodied but smooth and enveloping the firmly structured palate combines power and finesse featuring succulent Morello cherry ripe cranberry star anise and baking spice accompanied by tightly knit refined tannins. Fresh acidity ? impressive given the scorching vintage - keeps it well balanced. Drink2029?2044. Abv: 14.5% Kerin O?Keefe March 2023

Organic fruit for this wine comes from a small parcel within the hilltop Bricco Boschis cru with 60-year-old vines. The Cavallotto 2017 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe shows ample texture and softness with layers of dark fruit plum dried cherry baked terracotta and spice. This vintage delivers more accessible fruit overall and the Cavallotto house style delivers elegance and depth. Production is 6637 bottles. Cavallotto has worked organically since 1976 and in 2008 the estate dramatically reduced its use of copper eliminating it altogether in 2013. Published: Aug 24 2023
