More questions
The Barolo Riserva Vignolo DOCG from Cavallotto is a wine that conveys depth and discipline: in the glass it presents an intense, multifaceted aromatic profile, where scents of ripe red fruit intertwine with earthy, forest-floor notes and delicate floral nuances. On the nose it is composed and refined at once, with subtle spices and a balsamic thread that underscores its complexity without overwhelming.
On the palate it shows structure and tension: the tannins are firm but well integrated by the acidity, offering a framework that supports the sip and a persistence that invites extended tastings. Suitable for structured dishes such as braised dishes, game, and aged cheeses, it improves with a few hours of decanting; serve at a moderate temperature to appreciate its balance between elegance and rustic character.

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.
