Note di degustazione
The Bricco Boschis site in Castiglione Falletto shows stunning results in the classic vintages. But 2012 is characterized by concentrated heat during the hottest weeks of the summer, and you taste that ripeness here. The 2012 Barolo Bricco Boschis is a more immediate and perhaps more accessible edition. The bouquet opens to plump fruit tones with dried cherry and plum. You also get warm tones of autumnal leaf, tobacco, wild mushroom and savory spice. The wine's texture is velvety and a bit softer.

Mid crimson. Heady, leafy nose. Transparent and well melded. Light tannins so not a long-term ager but very charming already. (JR)
Castiglione Falletto. Deep ruby with orange tinges. Fascinating minerally, savoury nose. Wonderful concentration of succulent fruit and gripping tannins on the palate. Unfurls on the finish. (WS)
Cavallotto's 2012 Barolo Bricco Boschis is soft, sensual and inviting, all of which make it more accessible at an early age than is typically the case. Bold and punchy throughout, the 2012 offers plenty of dark red cherry, plum, licorice and leather, all in a succulent style that can be appreciated with minimal fuss upon release. This silky, supple Barolo is very nicely done.
