It is a closed, brooding wine of dense structure and great longevity. As befits the vintage, its character shows cool-vintage flavors and aromas, especially black cherries, licorice and truffle, with distinct dark floral notes. On the palate, the wine is still tight and focused, letting little escape but showing all the necessary elements for a long cellaring and - someday - a long drinking window. The finish is extremely long and currently shows the young tannins that will soften and integrate with time. February 2019 Drinking Window: 2030-2060 Notes on Matching with Food: The wine is best with second courses of red meat, simply grilled or roasted. Also good with hard and aged cheeses. It can also be enjoyed as a “vino da meditazione” (a wine for meditiation) by iteslf. BAROLO RISERVA BRICCO BOSCHIS 2013 - Vigna San Giuseppe VINTAGE 2013: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Vintage Conditions Winter: (Dec, Jan, Feb): Rainy, snowy and wet. Much fog. Vegetative Cycle: (Mar-July): Cool, wet early spring, dry after mid-May. Flowering: (25 May-10 June): First sunny spring days; perfect conditions. Productive Cycle: (Aug-Oct): Cool & dry, with good diurnal temperature shifts. Harvest Period: Some rain disrupted the picking, but otherwise very good. Vintage Characteristics: 2013 is a vintage of character. The cool, wet spring fully replenished the water tables from the drought like conditions at the end of 2012. The cool growing season bade well for Nebbiolo, and we expect great Baroli from this vintage. However, the other varietals suffered a little in the cool late summer and early autumn temperatures. Nebbiolo Plant Health: ★★★★★ Harvest Dates: 18 October
