Description
Organic Barolo Riserva DOCG, 14.5% ABV, produced by Cavallotto in Castiglione Falletto, Piedmont. 100% Nebbiolo, 0.75L bottle, 2018 vintage. A Barolo Riserva born from the passion of a family that has cultivated the Bricco Boschis vineyards in the heart of Barolo since 1928. A wine that tells the story of a region and a family that has successfully passed down the art of winemaking. Complete destemming, fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Horizontal fermentation tanks with a maximum controlled temperature of 29°C. Traditional fermentation with semi-submerged cap maceration. Maceration period: 18-30 days. Malolactic fermentation in concrete tanks during the spring following harvest. Aged for 48-60 months in Slavonian oak barrels. An aristocratic bouquet interwoven with menthol and mineral notes, blended with jammy berries, roses and violets, humus, roots, and oriental spices. A deep, luminous garnet color. Harmonious and savory on the palate, beautifully structured, with a noble tannic texture and a pulpy fruity finish.
