Review:
I had tasted this wine from barrel last year, and the wine was already shaping up beautifully back then. Staying the course, the 2015 Barolo Bricco Boschis shows extreme elegance and finesse. These are the characteristics of what is surely one of the most beautiful vineyard sites in Barolo. The Bricco Boschis cru affords a panoramic view onto much of the Langhe, with snowcapped Alps in the background. Barolo from Castiglione Falletto tends to show characteristics that are very fine, precise and linear. That's fundamentally what you get here despite the more exuberant and fleshy 2015 vintage. This wine is truly beautiful. Some 27,700 bottles were made.

Review:
Cavallotto's 2015 Barolo Bricco Boschis is pretty and open-knit, not to mention incredibly delicious in the early going. In some vintages, the Bricco Boschis can be imposing, but the 2015 is radiant and supple, with no hard edges and tons of sheer appeal. Bright red fruit, floral and spice overtones build as this racy, inviting Barolo shows off its considerable appeal.
