Facing south\/southeast, this sun-drenched hill has long been considered one of Barolo’s blue-ribbon vineyards. The entire planted area covers some 8.8 hectares. Yet, because of variations in soil composition, elevation and aspect, Cavallotto parcellates the site into three subzones: Vigne Colle Sud-Ovest, Punta Marcello and Vigna San Giuseppe. The last of these is also bottled as a single Cru Riserva, which we have here. The densely planted old vines grow at 300-360 metres altitude, and the soils—a patchwork of yellow, white and grey calcareous clays interwoven with sand and sandstone—are as varied as the vineyard’s myriad exposures. Vigna San Giuseppe is a 3.7-hectare parcel on a steep slope behind the cantina. It has long been considered the sweet spot for this vineyard, consistently delivering one of the region’s greatest Barolos. You get the best of everything: altitude (but not too much); excellent drainage (but enough water retention thanks to the clay, so the vines don’t stress in dry conditions); and a complex mixture of soils, including blue-tinted clays (for power), limestone (freshness and mineral drive) and sand (prettiness and perfume). The stars align to produce something magnificent once you add especially small bunches from the 60-year-old vines, unique clonal material and southwest exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cavallotto","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":45250581659757,"sku":"BIB24901-1500","price":929.01,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":45269197389933,"sku":"BIB24901-1500-6","price":5295.36,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/cavallotto-barolo-riserva-bricco-boschis-vigna-san-giuseppe-2016-magnum-1500-ml.jpg?v=1780080155","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/cavallotto-barolo-riserva-bricco-boschis-vigna-san-giuseppe-2018-1500ml","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
