Crafted from the estate's iconic monopole in Castiglione Falletto, the 2018 Bricco Boschis is a compelling testament to the "freshness and finesse" of a cooler vintage, as noted by lead critic Kerin O'Keefe for Wine Enthusiast.
This organic Nebbiolo reveals a classic, streamlined profile shaped by a season of significant spring rainfall followed by a warm, ripening September.
In the glass, it presents a brilliant ruby hue with garnet reflections, leading to a high-toned aromatic display of rose petals, forest berries, and camphor, interwoven with darker spice and underbrush.
The palate is defined by its remarkable focus and structural tension; vibrant red cherry and crushed raspberry fruit are framed by refined, "taut" tannins and a bright acidic spine. O'Keefe celebrates its poised elegance, remarking that it perfectly captures the vintage’s signature, delivering a "vibrant, focused palate" of wild mint and star anise. This edition maintains the estate's traditional power but with an added layer of detail and "perfumed length" that marks it as a standout from the 2018 campaign.
