Barolo Riserva "Vignolo" 2016

Barolo Riserva "Vignolo" is produced by the Cavallotto winery in Castiglione Falletto using grapes harvested in the MGA Vignolo, in the same municipality.

All of the Nebbiolo vineyards owned by the Cavallotto family are located in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto; while a larger part is within the MGA Bricco Boschis, developed around the family estate, a small part comes from the Vignolo hill, an opposing ridge. Being a Riserva, the aging in wood is longer than usual, reaching up to 48 total months plus a few months in the bottle before release for sale. An expressive, elegant Barolo, to be drunk young and to be waited for, impatiently.

THE WINERY: CAVALLOTTO

A historic winery in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto, founded in 1928, and always striving for the maximum expression of this terroir: a hill of which they are practically the sole owners, the MGA Bricco Boschis. The first Cavallotto label dates back to 1948, while the first year in which Bricco Boschis was indicated on the label was 1967. Over the years, a vineyard in the Vignolo cru was acquired, and today Alfio, Giuseppe and Laura produce two Barolo Riserva and one Barolo Classico. Other indigenous varieties are also cultivated, such as Dolcetto and Barbera, in addition to Pinot Noir from which the white wine Pinner is made. The history of the Cavallotto family continues, with an eye to the future and roots firmly planted in the past.
