Bricco Boschis Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

Walked Bricco Boschis many times. Lovely vineyard with great position. My first of Cavallotto’s 13s to open. Real density to the wine. Deep color. Rich mouthfeel. Dark berry fruit. Less lift than I’d expect in such a good vintage. Still. Lovely wine. — 11 days ago

Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna Colle Sudovest

Cavallotto was just singing last night. The plush, fruity qualities of the ripe vintage against fine tannin and vibrant acidity. 2 of 3 opened last night. — 4 years ago

There is not enough lively acidities and tannic grip to provide support, texture and definition for the aromas that are dominated now by old wood and lack detail and focus. Some people like its relaxed, unforced style but the winemaking is not as accomplished as those from Roagna, Cavallotto and Oddero. After 24 hours, the aroma dissipates to reveal the tertiary notes and the tannins come forward. — 5 years ago

Vigna del Cuculo Bricco Boschis Barbera d'Alba 2006

The last bottle from the cellar of a terrific restaurant in Castlenuova Bererdagna. 30 Euro off the list. Amazing. Resolved, mature, lively tertiary attributes. Beautiful. — 7 years ago

Albesi Langhe Barbera 1968

Surprisingly good and drinkable for its age, yet also not exceptional. The fruit is alive and in balance but short. — 5 years ago

Vigna Scot Dolcetto d'Alba 2022

Nice easy drinking red. Good with the Bolognese pizza and the rather spicy ricotta gnocchi. — 8 months ago

Langhe Nebbiolo 2017

Really a lovely langhe nebbiolo from a producer we respect deeply after walking the Bricco Boschis with him a couple years ago. Decanted for 3 hours which I definitely recommend at this time. A bit unresolved still in terms of tannins. But deeply aromatic with great dark fruit and acid. Probably a better pairing with a cut of meat vs pizza. Delicious. — 4 years ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 1974

1974. Seemed flawed at first, 8 hour decant later was fine. Old Barolo nose, old Barolo palate, old Barolo finish. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there. — 5 years ago

David - I have a little ritual now with old Nebbiolo. I open it in the morning on a weekend, put it in a decanter and sip it all day to watch it develop. So cool. Often it seems the wine is a mess when opened and then fine by dinner. Cheers!

We have a saying in our wine group - if you’re bringing an old Barolo set your alarm for 5am to open it up. These older Nebbiolo go on a roller coaster when opened - and at one point might seem dead or tired, and a few min later it explodes in the glass.

Mike - well said, it is a great rollercoaster!
