Cavallotto
Following a strongly traditionalist approach, the Piedmontese winery Cavallotto produces elegant and noble Barolo, with sublime expressive breadth. The estate is located in Castiglione Falletto, a renowned municipality for the elegance of its Barolo, an area where since 1928 the Cavallotto family has cultivated vineyards, specifically those on the Bricco Boschis hill, acquired at the time by Giacomo Cavallotto. In 1948, the grandson Olivio Cavallotto released the first official label of the winery, and today it is the brothers Alfio, Giuseppe, and Laura, the fourth generation of the family in winemaking, who continue the Cavallotto tradition, combining the constant pursuit of the highest quality with a sincerely respectful approach to the environment, aimed at minimizing the impact on the ecosystem. The winery is divided into four rooms, each specifically designed for a different phase of the production process, from the winemaking environment to the bottle aging room, passing through the wine aging cellar carved into the Bricco Boschis hill and the ancient bottling room.bottling.
The Cavallotto estate covers 25 hectares of vineyards, managed organically and primarily dedicated to Nebbiolo, but also to other traditional varieties of Lower Piemonte such as Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa, and Grignolino, as well as to the international grape varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Nero. The yields per hectare are very low, and the rows grow on soils mainly composed of calcareous-clay marls, with variable sand presence. After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed but not pressed before fermentation in stainless steel tanks that are entrusted to indigenous yeasts only. In the processing of the grapes destined for Barolo, tradition is followed, with prolonged macerations on the skins and aging in large Slavonian oak barrels ranging from 20 to 100 hectoliters. For the rest of the wines, stainless steel tanks, concrete tanks, or barrels of varying capacities are used.
Among the selection of Cavallotto, the Barolo Riserva ‘Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe’ stands out, an example of elegance, depth, and class capable of showcasing the full enological potential of the Geographical Indication of Bricco Boschis, the symbol of the estate.
