ABOUT THIS WINE
The Cavallotto family has owned the prestigious Tenuta Bricco Boschis estate in Castiglione Falletto since 1928. Now managed by the fourth generation—Laura, Giuseppe, and Alfio—the estate is celebrated globally for its unwavering commitment to traditional Piedmontese winemaking and organic farming. This Langhe Nebbiolo is often referred to as a 'Baby Barolo' because it is sourced entirely from estate-owned, Barolo-classified vineyards, offering the complexity and structure of a great Barolo but with earlier accessibility.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Crafted from 100% estate-grown Nebbiolo grapes, the fruit is fully de-stemmed and fermented using only indigenous yeasts. The maceration is highly traditional, utilizing a semi-submerged cap (cappello sommerso) in vertical and horizontal tanks for 18 to 30 days. Following a natural malolactic fermentation in cement tanks, the wine is aged for 15 to 18 months in large, neutral Slavonian oak casks (botti) ranging from 20 to 100 hectoliters, followed by at least 6 months of bottle aging before release.
