About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of NebbioloCavallotto's emblematic Barolo is crafted from two parcels within the Bricco Boschis cru. The Punta Marcello lies on the apex of the hill by the cantina.

“The 2017 Barolo Bricco Boschis is superb. A rush of crushed raspberry, rose petals, mint, sweet spice and blood orange gives the 2017 its effusive, sexy personality. Medium in body and exceptionally polished, the 2017 is an absolute jewel of a wine. Many 2017s are nervy and in need of time to soften, but not the Bricco Boschis. All the elements are so well-balanced. If I was going to open a wine for someone who was not familiar with Barolo, I might very well open this. It’s impossible not to love the 2017 Bricco Boschis.” 93 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
