Cavallotto Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe 2019

Vigna San Giuseppe is a 3.7-hectare parcel on a steep slope behind the cantina. It has long been considered the sweet spot for this vineyard, consistently delivering one of the region’s greatest Barolos. It has the best of everything: altitude, but not too much; excellent drainage, but sufficient water retention thanks to the clay, so the vines don’t stress in dry conditions; and a complex mixture of soils.

“Offering intensity and concentration, the drop-dead gorgeous 2019 Vigna San Giuseppe Riserva, part of the Dynamic Duo of Cavallotto’s extraordinary 2019 Riservas, is intensely fragrant, featuring pronounced aromas of violet, baking spice, new leather and baked plum. Offering depth and layers of flavors, the delicious, structured palate delivers layers of ripe Marasca cherry, cinnamon. ” Kerin O'Keefe, kerinokeefe.com
