Descrizione

An extraordinary wine. The sweet and balanced structure makes it powerful, rich and austere on the palate, with a complexity that reflects the unique terroir of Serralunga d'Alba.

With a deep and brilliant garnet red color, it looks very inviting. As for the scent, you can discover a variety of aromas, in particular red fruits, with floral and spicy notes that come together in a deep and broad bouquet.

The flavor in the mouth reveals a ready and welcoming wine, a pleasant note of tannins which, when ideally ripe, manifest themselves in a soft and enveloping way. The persistence of the finish is prolonged, in harmony with the typical experience of traditional Barolos from the most prestigious vintages, highlighting a balanced and complex structure.

It is ideal to pair with important dishes, such as Barolo risotto, or with rich and tasty second courses, such as roast meats. It can also be appreciated as a meditation wine, with hard or semi-hard cheeses, chocolate.

It combines elegance, depth and power, and is an extraordinary experience for wine lovers. This wine is perfect for aging and evolves beautifully over time.

Winery history

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.
