Cavallotto Barolo Riserva Vignolo 2016

Barolo, Italy

Dense cherry and earth emerge slowly through a fortress of tannin. Cedar, white pepper and tobacco smoke build in layers, but this remains locked down and nearly impenetrable. The structure borders on severe. Dusty, gripping tannins that coat the mouth with old-school intensity. Classic Vignolo that will reward those with serious patience. Drink 2030-2050.

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.
