Producer:
Cavallotto Winery
The vines of the Cavallotto Winery are found on a hill, the Bricco Boschis, where sedimentary deposits of the Langhian and Tortonian ages meet. The secret of Cavallotto Barolo is truly here: the older calcareous marl and the younger sand veins (through which water flows and hydrates the plants) give us wines of great equilibrium and aromatic complexity. This is a unique characteristic in the Barolo zone, and herein lies the real identity of the wines of Cavallotto.

"A combination of an extraordinary vintage and a fantastic producer are behind this stunning wine. It opens with aromas recalling woodland berry, pipe tobacco, forest floor, balsamic notes of camphor and new leather. Still youthfully austere, the firmly structured palate delivers ripe Morello cherry, licorice, ground clove and iron notes set against tightly knit, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it well balanced. Drink 2028-2046. Kerin O'Keefe"

"The nose is fruity, racy. It reveals notes of wild strawberry, Boysen berry, small notes of small red berries associated with fine touches of plum as well as hints of cocoa, tobacco and tea. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers juiciness and a small power. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy raspberry, small fleshy red berries, small notes of violet associated with small touches of cassis and chocolatz. Good length."

"Reife, weit entwickelte Nase, Waldboden, Trüffel, auch deutlich Maggiwürze, Liebstöckel, Bouillon, für Altweinliebhaber durchaus spannend, denn da hat es einiges an Komplexität. Im Gaumen weich, sehr reif, mit abgeschmolzenem, leicht trocknendem Tannin, wirkt etwas gezehrt und nicht 100% harmonisch. Im Abgang jedoch angenehm lang, endet wieder auf Liebstöckel. Zenit überschritten, austrinken.17.5 vvPunkte (89/100)"

"Enticingly fragrant, this gorgeous wine opens with classic Nebbiolo aromas of woodland berry, wild rose, forest floor, pipe tobacco, dark spice and a balsamic whiff of menthol. Reflecting the nose, the delicious, structured palate delivers dried cherry, raspberry compote, truffle, star anise and a note of crushed mint. Firm but noble tannins provide the framework and bestow impressive aging potential. Drink 2022-2037. Kerin O'Keefe"

Am Gaumen viel feinmaschiges, gut eingebundenes Tannin, trotzdem kein Gaumenschmeichler sondern zupackend, öffnet sich in vielen Schichten, salzig und lange."

"Made by one of Castiglione Falletto's top producers, this single-vineyard riserva has a fragrance of wild cherry, leather and truffle.
