About this wine
A single-vineyard Riserva from the 1.96-hectare Vignolo cru, planted in 1948 and 1966 on a southwest-facing slope. Aged for an extended 60 months (5 years) in large Slavonian oak casks, it offers heady aromas of pine forest, cedar, ripe red berry and spice, with a full-bodied palate of Morello cherry, truffle, orange zest and pomegranate, framed by tight, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity.
A deep, contemplative Barolo best paired with a rich meal rather than sipped alone.
Sommelier's Note
"Five years in old Slavonian oak gives Vignolo a depth few Barolos achieve — this is Nebbiolo at its most patient and most rewarding."
Food Pairings
Pairs beautifully with slow-braised game, porcini mushroom dishes, and aged pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano.
When to drink it
Long dinners, cellar collections, and pairing with rich braised or roasted game.

バローロ リゼルヴァ ブリッコ・ボスキス ヴィーニャ・サン・ジュゼッペ
Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe
RedNebbiolo
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.
バローロ ブリッコ・ボスキス
Barolo Bricco Boschis
RedNebbiolo
Cavallotto's flagship Barolo, sourced entirely from the family's monopole Bricco Boschis vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, certified organic since 1976. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and macerated on the skins for roughly 20-35 days, the wine ages for around 3 to 3.5 years in large Slavonian oak botti before further bottle aging. The result is a classic, traditionally styled Barolo showing cherry, raspberry and plum fruit shaded by earth, menthol and tar, with firm but polished tannins that balance power and elegance.

An approachable entry point to Cavallotto's Nebbiolo, sourced from younger vines across the estate's Bricco Boschis, Vignolo, Codana and Pernanno parcels. Vinified in much the same way as the estate's Barolo but with a shorter oak-aging period, it shows classic Nebbiolo aromas of red berry, wild rose, hay and cedar, with a dry, full-bodied palate of strawberry, bitter orange and spice.
