Freisa delle Langhe by Cavallotto shows a bright ruby red and an immediate aromatic profile: crunchy red fruits (cherry, raspberry) combine with light floral nuances and a spicy accent that doesn’t overpower. On the palate it’s lively and sprightly, with good acidity that balances a lean structure; the tannins, present but ripe, provide support and motion, while a pleasant sapidity prolongs the finish without weighing it down. The texture is juicy, with a slight bitter note that adds character and a final lift that invites the next sip.
It’s a convivial wine, suitable for traditional dishes like cured meats, pasta with ragù, and grilled meats, but it also pairs well with medium-aged cheeses. Serve slightly cool, around 16–18 °C, and it benefits from a few minutes of breathing: it’s appreciated for the balance between freshness and structure, and for its ability to express the territory in a direct and sincere way. It also pairs nicely with mushrooms, filled pastas, and rustic preparations; it’s versatile and perfect for informal meals or more elaborate tables.

The story
The Cavallotto family has cultivated the Bricco Boschis hill since 1928. After World War II the winery began vinifying its own grapes, a practice firmly established in 1946, and the first Barolo under the Cavallotto label dates back to 1948. Today the estate is run by the next generation, which has preserved unified vineyard management and a focus on the local terroir.
Production philosophy
The estate emphasizes the character of its territory by making wine exclusively from grapes grown in its own vineyards, practicing organic viticulture, and following a winemaking approach focused on minimal intervention.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located in Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Langhe, and is known for the cru Bricco Boschis. The vineyards are concentrated on a single hillside and have exposures and altitudes typical of the lower Langa around Alba, favorable to the cultivation of Nebbiolo da Barolo.
