Cavallotto's top single-parcel Riserva, produced only in the best vintages from the San Giuseppe cru within the Bricco Boschis vineyard. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and macerated on the skins for 20-35 days, it is aged for 4 to 5 years in large Slavonian oak casks. The result is a Barolo of great structure, elegance and complexity, opening with fruity perfume before revealing floral and spice nuances, with the ageing potential to develop for decades.
Vigna San Giuseppe is proof that restraint, not extraction, is what makes a Barolo immortal — this is a wine built to outlive the vintage it was made in.

- What distinguishes Vigna San Giuseppe from the regular Bricco Boschis Barolo?
- It is a Riserva made only in exceptional vintages from the San Giuseppe parcel, the most prized section of the Bricco Boschis vineyard, and ages far longer — 4 to 5 years in large oak casks versus about 3 for the normale bottling.
- How long should this wine be cellared before drinking?
- It is built for long aging and typically benefits from at least 5-10 years of bottle age, with the potential to develop beautifully for 20-30 years in good vintages.
- What food pairs well with this Riserva?
- Rich, refined dishes such as roasted game, white truffle risotto, and long-aged cheeses suit its structure and complexity best.
- Is this wine made every year?
- No — it is a selection made only in the best vintages, which is part of what makes it Cavallotto's most sought-after bottling.
