Cavallotto, Barolo Bricco Boschis, 1970
Fifty-six years on — a Cavallotto Bricco Boschis from the year the family put the cru name on the label. 1970 is a landmark in Cavallotto history: the year Olivio and brother Gildo added the names of individual single-vineyard parcels (Vigna San Giuseppe, Colle Sudovest, Punta Marcello) to their labels — extending the cru-naming approach they had begun with 'Bricco Boschis' in 1967, a then-novel move that placed Bricco Boschis (their Castiglione Falletto monopole) ahead of nearly every other Barolo grower in single-vineyard transparency. Strict traditional methods, Slavonian-oak casks, long aging — Cavallotto hasn't changed any of it. The 1970 vintage was a classically structured year, and at 56 years this is fully resolved museum-piece Nebbiolo: garnet, ethereal, savory, alive. Pre-current-era release from the Olivio + Gildo generation. Provenance and condition matter at this age; pour gently and decant off any sediment.
