Cavallotto Barolo 2008

Barolo, Italy

Dense and formidable, with layers of dried cherry, leather and forest floor building powerfully. Massive tannins and mineral backbone create an austere, almost medicinal character that defines classic Nebbiolo. This is old-school Barolo that demands serious patience.

Cavallotto

Cavallotto is a family estate in Castiglione Falletto with a near-monopoly on the Bricco Boschis vineyard, producing some of the Langhe's most classically structured Barolos from a single, contiguous hillside site.
