About this wine
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.
The most approachable way to experience Cavallotto's house style of Nebbiolo without the Barolo price tag.

Terroir & Winemaking
100% Nebbiolo from younger vines across the Bricco Boschis, Vignolo, Codana and Pernanno parcels, fermented with indigenous yeasts with submerged-cap maceration for 20-35 days, aged 15-18 months in Slavonian oak casks plus roughly 6 months in bottle before release.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How does Langhe Nebbiolo differ from Cavallotto's Barolo?
- It uses fruit from younger vines in the same estate vineyards, and is aged for a shorter 15-18 months in oak versus 3+ years for the Barolo, making it lighter and ready to drink sooner.
- Is this a good introduction to Nebbiolo?
- Yes — it shares the same fermentation and vineyard sources as Cavallotto's Barolo but is more approachable in youth, making it an ideal entry point into the grape and the house style.
- What food pairs well with this wine?
- Its bright acidity and moderate tannin make it versatile with roast chicken, mushroom dishes, salumi and tomato-based pasta.
- Should this wine be decanted?
- A short 20-30 minute decant or simply opening the bottle ahead of time is enough to let its aromatics open up; it does not need the long decanting Cavallotto's Barolo requires.

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.

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.
