It’s nice to see Cavallotto finally getting some serious recognition. This small, biodynamic and organic, family-run property has been making stellar wines for quite some time, but for some reason the outside world has only caught on relatively recently. The Cavallotto Barolos seem to just keep getting better and better with each passing vintage. This venerable, family-run estate in Castiglione Falletto is a great source for reasonably priced Barolos that will age several decades easily.

“Cavallotto may very well be the greatest Barolo producer few people have ever heard of, something that continues to mystify me.” – Antonio Galloni

The Cavallotto family claims sole ownership of the beautiful Bricco Boschis cru in the Castiglione Falletto district, where they have been growing Nebbiolo since 1929 and bottling their own wine since 1948. These richly structured wines place emphasis on elegance and longevity, attributable to excellent vineyards in the Bricco Boschis cru and traditional long maturation periods in large Slavonian-oak casks.

The land has been organically farmed since the 1970s. Cavallotto divided Bricco Boschis into three parcels: two plots are blended to make the flagship Bricco Boschis Barolo, but the third plot, Vigna San Giuseppe, is also designated and bottled as a single cru riserva.

The Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis vigna San Giuseppe is the jewel of this property, coming from a vineyard of old vines in the heart of the Bricco Boschis vineyard.

The vine material comes from old clones and is probably the source of the distinctive flavour of this wine.

As usual, it is made in a style that is rich and structured, which demands some time in bottle in order to yield it’s best drinkability.

It is an age-worthy Barolo that Piemonte lovers know to buy and cellar.
