The 2019 Cavallotto Barolo Riserva Vignolo is a monumental and deeply complex Barolo from one of Castiglione Falletto’s most revered traditional producers. Sourced from the historic Vignolo parcel within the famed Bricco Boschis vineyard and released only in exceptional vintages, the wine captures the power, precision and extraordinary longevity that define great traditional Barolo. The nose reveals red cherry, dried rose and blood orange layered alongside tobacco, sweet spice, tar, dried herbs and earthy mineral notes, giving the wine remarkable depth and sophistication.

On the palate, it is full-bodied with finely woven tannins, vibrant natural acidity and beautifully concentrated red berry fruit. Layers of cherry, cranberry and savoury spice are balanced by mineral tension and profound earthy complexity, finishing exceptionally long, structured and finely detailed with outstanding ageing potential.

Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2019 Cavallotto Barolo Riserva Vignolo is a world-class traditional Barolo - powerful, savoury and incredibly complex with immense structure and longevity. Perfect with truffle dishes, braised beef, roast game, rich mushroom dishes or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with extended decanting or cellar gracefully through 2060+.

About the region

Piedmont · Barolo

Piedmont, or Piemonte, sits in Italy's north-west under the Alps. Its great grape is Nebbiolo, which ripens late, is often picked in autumn fog, and reaches its fullest expression in the Langhe hills at Barolo and Barbaresco. Those wines are pale and firmly tannic when young, and turn to tar, dried rose and truffle with age. Alongside them Barbera and Dolcetto supply the everyday reds, and Moscato d'Asti the sweet, lightly sparkling whites.
