The magic of 2021 strikes again. The Bricco Boschis Cru is a truly profound vineyard: the amphitheatre-shaped site produces this Estate’s most emblematic Barolo. This wine comes from vines with an average age of 50 years, primarily situated in two parcels within this vineyard. The first is Punta Marcello, which lies at the top of the slope next to the cantina. This cool terroir is known for its fragrant, pale juice and long, angular tannins. Then, there is the Vigna Colle Sudovest parcel, facing south at a lower elevation. This is the vineyard's warmest microclimate, and the fruit from these vines produces fleshier, more accessible wines with darker, more richly flavoured juice and softer tannins.
The renowned Vigna San Giuseppe vines also contribute to the blend, and together, these three components form a complete picture of the Cru, complementing each other and building aromatic and structural complexity. The 2021 saw between 28 and 30 days on skins, followed by three years in large Slavonian oak casks, ranging in size from 20 to 100 hectolitres. Expect this stunning Nebbiolo to come into its own after 2030. It was bottled unfiltered.
