Cavallotto

Bricco Boschis, four generations, traditional Barolo since 1948

Cavallotto is a wine producer in Castiglione Falletto, Barolo, Italy. LeMieux Wine Co. distributes Cavallotto wines to licensed restaurants, bars and retailers in Michigan.

Estate

The Cavallotto family has farmed Bricco Boschis in Castiglione Falletto since 1928. They began estate-bottling in 1948, when most Piedmont growers were still selling fruit to négociants. Four generations of that continuity have produced an institutional depth few Barolo estates can match.

Vinification

Long macerations. Large Slavonian oak. The Riserva Vigna San Giuseppe ages for close to a decade before release. In a region where shorter macerations and French oak have become common, the Cavallotto approach has not changed. The wines are built on patience and structure rather than early approachability.
