Cavallotto’s Barolo Bricco Boschis 2020 is a single-vineyard Barolo DOCG from Castiglione Falletto, made from organically farmed fruit on the estate’s historic Bricco Boschis site. The Cavallotto family has worked this property since buying the Boschis estate in 1928, and the wine is shaped by a traditionally long élevage: Monica Larner reports in *Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate* that it spends “36 months in Slavonian oak casks.” The same review pegs alcohol at 14.5% and notes a production of 18,582 bottles.

In the glass, the 2020 reads as a slightly more powerful, earlier-opening expression of the cru. Larner calls it “a little richer in this vintage,” with aromas taking on “a bigger profile with dried blackberry, licorice and earthy black truffle,” while adding that the wine’s usual “delicate mineral and floral nuances…are less prominent in 2020.” Antonio Galloni (*Vinous*, 93) similarly finds it “beautifully rich and resonant,” layering “black cherry, blackberry, licorice, cloves, leather and scorched earth,” and suggests it may “shed some baby fat” with time.

Several critics deliver excellent reviews, led by Kerin O’Keefe (95), who calls the wine “smooth, enveloping and delicious,” highlighting “wild rose, forest berry, tobacco and new leather,” followed by “ripe raspberry, Morello cherry, cake spice and menthol.” Wine Spectator (94) emphasizes drive and structure—“cherry, raspberry, earth and eucalyptus flavors on a broad, dense frame, yet still remains fluid”—with “burly tannins” and a long, spicy finish.

Decanter (94) frames it as “an old-fashioned wine…sumptuously complex,” pointing to “stony salinity,” forest-floor detail, and a “refreshing hint of menthol.” Across reviews, the message is consistent: a dense, traditionally built Bricco Boschis with freshness and depth, best approached with patience (windows largely center on the late 2020s through 2040+).
