Description
Cavallotto is the name of this winery and of the family that has linked its history to the Bricco Boschis hills in the heart of Barolo since 1928.
Today at the helm of the company we find the fourth generation represented by Alfio, Giuseppe and Laura who carry on the family tradition, inspired by a production in which the land is perceived as a gift to be preserved and delivered to future generations in an optimal state.
Among the first to experiment with total controlled grassing in 1974, they were precursors of many sustainable cultivation techniques and today they are experimenting with production without the use of machinery and tractors.
The Barolo Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe Riserva 2013 is a splendid testimony to the passion that lies behind the work of this winery.
A wine in which elegance and body merge; able to stay in the cellar for many years to refine all its qualities even more.
Rosso granato intenso.
Profumi inizialmente fruttati poi floreali poi speziati, aperti e intensi.
Barolo di grande struttura ma con eleganza e complessità.
Carni rosse in genere, pesce crostacei grigliati o crudi, carni bianche grigliate, formaggi a grana dura o stagionati, cioccolato.
