| Over het wijnhuis | In het hart van de Barolo DOCG, in het plaatsje Castiglione Falletto, liggen de unieke cru-wijngaarden van Cavallotto. Cavallotto behoort tot de oudste producenten van Barolo, met een traditionele, op terroir gespitste stijl van wijn maken. De verschillende terroirs van de cru’s Bricco Boschis (met zijn bijzondere 'single vineyard' Vigna San Giuseppe) en Vignolo komen op fantastische wijze tot uiting in hun Nebbiolo-wijnen. Behalve Nebbiolo maakt Cavallotto onder andere een waanzinnige Barbera d’Alba Superiore. |
| Wijngaard en regio | Afkomstig van de 'San Giuseppe'-wijngaard in de cru Bricco Boschis in de comune (gemeente) Castiglione Falletto in Barolo. De wijngaard ligt helemaal centraal in de amfitheater-vormige cru. In de wijngaard staan zeer oude druiven: ze werden voor het laatst aangeplant tussen 1932 en 1956. Vigna San Giuseppe heeft een perfecte ligging op het zuid-westen en een zanderige bodem. |
| Vinificatie | De druiven worden ontsteeld. De gisting vindt plaats een gecontroleerde temperatuur van 29 graden. De 'hoed' (schilletjes die boven komen drijven) wordt regelmatig ondergedompeld, het sap regelmatig overgepompt. Hierdoor krijgt de wijn meer kleur, tannine en smaak. De totale maceratietijd is 30 tot 35 dagen. De wijn rijpt 48 tot 60 maanden op Slavonisch eiken van 20, 30, 50, 80 en 100 hectoliter. De wijn verblijft vervolgens nog 12 maanden op de fles voordat deze op de markt wordt gebracht. |

| Awards | "A certified organic wine, the Cavallotto 2016 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe is born in vineyards on a beautiful ridge in Castiglione Falletto with wide views of both the sunrise and the sunset. From this magical site at the heart of the Barolo appellation comes a wine that represents the very best of vintage and territory. Dark fruit, dried cherry, wild plum, rose and iron ore meet a perfect intersection that gives this Barolo a beautiful sense of balance and inner energy. Fruit comes from a 2.4-hectare plot with southwest-facing vines that are 60 years old. After destemming, the grapes see 28 days of skin contact (semi-submerged caps) in steel tanks. Secondary fermentation occurs in cement in the spring following the harvest. The wine is aged in Slavonian oak for 60 months. Production is 8,794 bottles and other larger formats." - 98 punten, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate over de 2016-vintage "Casiglione Falletto. Cask sample. Deep ruby with orange tinges. Deep and brooding dark nose loaded with stony minerally notes. Hints of dried fruits mingle with cherry. Lush, juicy and long and sensationally balanced. Gorgeous fine gravelly tannins supporting the fruit. Long and with a full spread on the finish. Amazing depth of flavour. (WS)" - 18/20, Jancis Robinson over de 2016-vintage "The 2016 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe is a powerhouse. Huge swaths of tannin wrap around a core of dark fruit in a brooding, almost somber Barolo that demands patience. Hints of licorice, spice, leather, menthol, incense and black cherry fruit begin to emerge with time in the glass. I won’t be surprised if the 2016 turns out even better than this note suggests. There is a ton of potential here. I find the combination of power and translucent energy both evocative and quite promising." - 95+ punten, Vinous over de 2016-vintage "An impressive red, this features a beam of pure cherry and rose, with strawberry, currant, iron and tobacco notes in supporting roles. Firm and dry, with ripeness midpalate, this lingers on the fruit, mineral and underbrush aftertaste. Combines finesse and intensity. Best from 2025 through 2045." - 98 punten, Wine Spectator over de 2016-vintage "A combination of an extraordinary vintage and a fantastic producer are behind this stunning wine. It opens with aromas recalling woodland berry, pipe tobacco, forest floor, balsamic notes of camphor and new leather. Still youthfully austere, the firmly structured palate delivers ripe Morello cherry, licorice, ground clove and iron notes set against tightly knit, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it well balanced. Drink 2028–2046." - 99 punten, Wine Enthusiast over de 2016-vintage "Alfio Cavallotto, a well known organic producer in Castiglione Falletto, owns 15.5 hectares of Bricco Boschis from its total of 17ha - it was a monopole of the estate until 2014. Vigna San Giuseppe is located at the top of the cru, where the soils are even sandier than in other parts of the MGA, due to the simultaneous presence of Diano sandstones and sandy Sant’Agata Fossili marls. His 2015 is as much austere as detailed: rose, plum and prune aromas are joined by smoky woodland and a depth of forest floor. Prunes appear on the palate too, with an earthy minerality and muscular yet ripe, sweet tannins due to old vines (around 50 years old). This also displays refreshing acidity and balanced alcohol. Extremely consistent with the vintage, it is now available and ready for the long haul." - 96 punten, Decanter over de 2015-vintage |
