Left Other Spain

The village of Castiglione Falletto is rich with superstars—Giuseppe Mascarello, Brovia, Vietti, Scavino—and Cavallotto stands easily with the best of them. Of this elite group, Cavallotto's wines stand out for their deep fruit, brooding structure, rose petal aromatics, and incredible longevity.

Most of Cavallotto's grapes come from a hill called Bricco Boschis. Cavallotto owns all of it. Thanks to a mostly southern exposure at high altitude and a complex mix of limestone and clay, it's considered one of the top crus of a village known for many great crus. Cavallotto's San Giuseppe Riserva is made from the best grapes from the vineyard's oldest vines, mid-slope.

Cavallotto's other Riserva comes from Vignolo. It is next door to Bricco Boschis and just a little lower down the slope. The wine tends to be less powerful and more floral, and is perfect for drinking on a slightly earlier timescale than the San Giuseppe.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"The 2019 Barolo Riserva Vignolo offers notable aromatic intensity from the outset. Dark red cherry/plum fruit, rose petal, cinnamon, pomegranate and blood orange all race across the palate. I especially admire the wine's inner perfume and overall energy. There's plenty of potential here." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 96
"The Cavallotto 2019 Barolo Riserva Vignolo (a certified organic wine) shows an earthy and savory side with the extra texture and concentration that is characteristic of this warm vintage. With fruit selected from a 1.96-hectare site with 40-year-old vines, the wine reveals a core of black and purple fruits, with dried plum and blackcurrant. It closes with powdery tannins. This Riserva ages for a long 60 months in 20-hectoliter and 50-hectoliter Slavonian oak casks. Production is limited to 6,566 bottles." -Monica Larner

Jancis Robinson

JR 18
"Lustrous, concentrated ruby. Exotic spice notes over brooding fruit, and with the merest suggestion of tamarind. Then, with aeration, pure raspberry coulis. Fantastic fullness of fruit without being heavy and charged with energetic acidity. Very long and sleek yet concentrated, and with bags of fine, gravelly tannins."
