Piedmont: New Releases

The 2018 Barolo Bricco Boschis is really elegant, detailed, complex and fine on the nose. This has delicate, ripe fruit and lots of floral lift: it opens up into a fine-boned palate with amazing complexity and length. This is a Nebbiolo for lovers of elegant, ethereal wines: the truest expression of the grape. It’s incredibly well balanced: this is a stunning Bricco Boschis, that’s so ethereal and pure.

The forgotten grape of Piemonte, Cavallotto's Freisa is a real joy. So much fresh fruit and pure energy, and there's a slight crunchiness here too. Notes of fresh thyme and plenty of grip of the finish complete the picture. This is a delicious red from one of the region's greatest names.

Very intense, mineral nose. So much explosive energy on the palate. There is so much tannin here, but the tannins are so refined and fine-boned. There’s a lot of saline minerality on the finish, and tension that lasts an age. Rippling with energy, this is a baby - give it lots of time.
