Cavallotto, Barolo Riserva Vignolo, 2008
A mature, single-cru Barolo Riserva from one of Piedmont's staunchest traditionalists, now drinking beautifully. Cavallotto has farmed at Castiglione Falletto for five generations, and Vignolo is a small, south-west-facing parcel of Nebbiolo that yielded just a few thousand bottles in 2008. The winemaking is classic to the core: native-yeast fermentation, a month or more of maceration, and years of aging in large Slavonian oak botti before release. Time in bottle has softened the tannins and coaxed out the tertiary, savory complexity that only patient, old-school Barolo delivers. This is Nebbiolo as the traditionalists intended - and ready to enjoy now.
