The 2010 Bricco Boschis is among the most complete wines that the Cavallotto family has produced, and of which they are very proud; 2010 is a once-in-a-generation vintage. The nose shows the cool-vintage character of a bouquet of delicate flowers: roses, hibiscus, violets and red peony. In the mouth, a seemingly forbidding structure of tannins and considerable acidity is underpinned by layers of black fruits, dried herbs and licorice, yet the wine is unexpectedly fleet and harmonious on its feet. The finish is long and dry, but the tannins are not astringentor bitter; they simply require time. The 2010 Bricco Boschis will benefit immeasurably from a decade of patience.
The wine is best with second courses of red meat, simply grilled or roasted. Also good with hard and aged cheeses
