An Epic Cavallotto Release 
 
I had lunch with Alfio Cavallotto a few weeks back.  It'd been a very long time since I'd seen him in person (for more than a minute or two)...actually since I first opened this shop in 2010.  

Way back then, he was here showcasing what, at the time, was a very exciting release of a pair of acclaimed vintages of his three Baroli - the 2006 Bricco Boschis and the Riserva San Giuseppe and Riserva Vignolo, both from 2004.  

This time, our meeting centered around what is, in terms of the two vintages it's comprised of, arguably the most epic release in the history of Cavallotto...

...the Bricco Boschis from the monumental, ultra-classic 2021 vintage, and the two Riservas from my favorite vintage of the last decade, the glowing 2019.  

The only other release in my lifetime that I think comes even close, would be the 1999/2001 release...my other two favorite vintages for this estate.  

The 2021 Bricco Boschis is and absolute racehorse of a wine - it's long, lean, beautiful and full of focused, linear power.  The dark, tarry fruit, so signature to Cavallotto, pulsates with stony depth.  It's very tightly wound right now, but it's gonna be an absolute stunner.  

On the other hand, we have the two Riservas, the always deeply rich, savory and earthy Vignolo and, what, for me, is probably the platonic ideal for Barolo, the Riserva San Giuseppe.  

Both of these wines clearly express both the character of their site and the transparently complex, utterly charming, yet deceptively structured personality of the 2019 vintage. 

As always, the Vignolo is dark, powerful, broad and deeply savory, while the San Giuseppe is a statuesque wine of immense focus, that seems to have been chiseled directly from stone.  

I know that Barolo is probably the last thing on your mind at this time of year, but these wines are arriving on 7/14, and you're not gonna wanna miss 'em...

...they're gonna be epic.
