Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – Outer quote mark The Cavallotto 2016 Barolo Riserva Vignolo is an organic wine that shows superb balance and great intensity. Elegance and power are in fact the twofold hallmark of this iconic vintage. This is a polished and silky wine with an almost glossy or latex-like quality to its tannins (that I love, by the way). This 5,333-bottle production hails from a two-hectare vineyard with 40-year-old vines. It has southwest exposures at a breezy 220 to 310 meters in altitude. (ML) Inner quote mark (6/2022)
About This Wine
Cavallotto’s Vignolo comes from a 1.9-hectare parcel of this cru, which forms a ridge of southwest-facing vines along with Codana and Monprivato lying between 60 and 80 metres lower than Bricco Boschis. Vignolo’s soils have some of the highest limestone content in Castiglione Falletto. Cavallotto’s vines were planted between 1948 and 1966, and it’s this vine age combined with the terroir and the organic farming that account for this wine’s gentle structure, purity of fruit and seductive texture. The 2016 saw 28 days on skins followed by five years in large, neutral cask.
