Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Saturday, September 22, 2018 - 2018 Cavallotto visit with Giuseppe Cavallotto (Tenuta Bricco Boschis, Castiglione Falletto): Bottled in May 2018 and again described by Giuseppe as “too young”. A serious black fruited nose of cherries, plums, liquorice and graphite. On palate, I was surprised by the quality here, thinking it Barolo-level. (Giuseppe said, “I agree. We could have labelled this wine as Barolo”.) A good volume of concentrated, plush, dark berried fruit packed around an austere, iron mineral core. Nice minerality and grip on the finish. Svelte tannins. Well balanced with precise acidity. An excellent buy.
