Antonio Galloni

"The 2013 Barolo Bricco Boschis is terrific. Dense and powerful in the glass, the 2013 offers notable energy and muscle in its dark-toned Nebbiolo flavors. Smoke, graphite, rose petal, licorice and menthol develop in what is a decidedly brooding, inward Bricco Boschis. There is real staying power and persistence to the 2013. I wouldn't plan on touching a bottle anytime soon." —Antonio Galloni

"Cavallotto is on a roll with some very impressive new releases. The 2013 Barolo Bricco Boschis is a tremendous effort that has an edge on the excellent 2010 vintage in my view. The wine shows a beautifully exuberant but elegant bouquet with the ethereal and undertone fruit and spice aromas you get with Nebbiolo. Although the wine is never overdone, it does show silky persistence and a long finish that comes from the noble nature of the tannins and the wine's textural finesse. Yet, it is playfully deceiving in a way because behind that polished grace, it delivers impressive depth and power." —Monica Larner

"Castiglione Falletto. Cask sample. Tasted blind. Quite deep ruby for Nebbiolo. Firmly closed on the nose, and sweet and monolithic on the palate. Bags of stalky tannins and loads of sweet ripe fruit. Quite massive for the moment." —Walter Speller

Decanter

95 points

"Harvested in the second half of October at modest yields of 38hL/ha, the 2013 is gorgeously perfumed with pressed rose and incense escaping gradually from the glass. On the palate, sweet red berries are punctuated by fennel and mint, while. layered tannins are silky and toned. The beauty of this wine is that it will have a long drinking window. Expressive and finessed now, it also offers palpable depth for a further 15 years."

Wine Spectator

"This is packed with sweet cherry, currant, floral and spice flavors. The vivid acidity drives the intensity, while dense tannins lend support. This will take some time to harmonize, but should be well worth the wait."

Kerin O'Keefe

"New leather, menthol, woodland berry, dark spice and a whiff of pressed rose petal are just some of the scents you’ll find on this radiant red. Vibrant and loaded with finesse, the structured palate delivers juicy Maraca cherry, ripe cranberry, white pepper, star anise and a hint of pipe tobacco while youthfully taut, noble tannins and firm acidity provide an age-worthy framework. It’s already stunning but needs time to develop to its full potential." —Kerin O'Keefe

More about Cavallotto

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.
