Fyld kassen og spar 10%Flot top Barolo fra Cavallotto. Denne parcel kombinerer stor smagsintensitet og uhørt balance i både duft og smag. Her er klassiske noter af tørrede krydderurter, jordbær og træ. Smagen er stor med helt ren og elegant frugt. Krydderierne giver en god kompleksitet til vinen. En fremragende vin til intense kødretter og gamle oste.
En ganske lille parcel i Castiglione Falletto, som er beplantet med Nebbiolo. Vinen herfra er en helt klassisk Barolo. Vinen ligger lang tid med skallerne for at udtrække intensitet. Efterfølgende lagres vinen i 4 - 5 år på store egetræsfade. En vin der i de bedste årgange får meget flotte anmeldelser.
97/ 100 point | Wine Spectator
"This is full of sweet, ripe plum, cherry, leather, soy and tobacco aromas and flavors, with smoky notes of autumn woods. Though firmly structured, there's energy here that carries through the long, detailed finish. Evokes both strength and elegance."

"Rich ruby with flecks of garnet. Intense savoury notes at the beginning, of cardamom, dried mushrooms, then dried plums and some leather, mysterious. On the palate a lot of finely meshed, well-integrated tannin, nevertheless not a palate pleaser but gripping, opens in many layers, salty and long."

"Enticingly fragrant, this gorgeous wine opens with classic Nebbiolo aromas of woodland berry, wild rose, forest floor, pipe tobacco, dark spice and a balsamic whiff of menthol. Reflecting the nose, the delicious, structured palate delivers dried cherry, raspberry compote, truffle, star anise and a note of crushed mint. Firm but noble tannins provide the framework and bestow impressive aging potential."

"Here is another excellent rendition of the celebrated Bricco Boschis cru (one of the best performing vineyards in Castiglione Falletto) from the talented Cavallotto family. The 2012 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe sees fruit picked only from the central part of the vineyard parcel. This area suffers less stress during the hottest months of summer because it is more protected and isolated. This wine is the proverbial overachiever among this estate's new releases. The bouquet shows a highly refined and focused quality with extreme varietal precision. The 2012 vintage stands somewhere in between 2010 for its elegance and 2011 for its power. In fact, I tasted this wine next to the 2011 expression and found that the 2012 vintage plays its cards closer to its chest. It has a lot to give in the future as it continues down its evolutionary path. Patience is required. Savory spice and smoke make for an elegant twist on the finish."
Cavallotto
I mere end fem generationer har familien Cavallotto dyrket druer i Bricco Boschis' bakker i udkanten af Castiglione Falletto i hjertet af Barolo regionen. Som nogle af de første i 1948 begyndte brødrene Olivio og Gildo at dedikerer sig udelukkende med vindyrkning og salg af vinen. Som dengang laves vinene idag kun på egne druer fra 25 ha. spredt på 23 individuelle parceller.
