Winery: Cavallotto
Region: Piemonte (Piedmont)
Locale: Bricco Boschis, Italy 
Appellation: Barolo 
Designation: DOCG

Site: MGA Bricco Boschis, parcel of “Vigna San Giuseppe”. Southwest-facing hillsides and sheltered amphitheater. 

Grapes: 100% Nebbiolo

Fermentation and Aging: Fermented with indigenous yeasts, macerated with submerged cap for 20-35 days. Aged in traditional Slavonian Oak Casks for 4-5 years, then in bottle for 12 months. 

Notes: From this cru come wines of great structure but with elegance and complexity. The initial perfumes are fruity and followed by floral aspects, then spices, all open and intense. Generally excellent cellaring potential. Best served courses of red meat, but also grilled fish or white meats, or with hard and aged cheeses. Desserts with dark chocolate are also a good match, or it can be enjoyed by itself as a “vino da meditazione” (a wine for meditation).
