2018 Cavallotto Barolo Riserva "Vignolo", Piedmont, Italy

ABOUT THIS WINE 

The 2018 Cavallotto Barolo Riserva Vignolo is a stunning and age-worthy expression of Nebbiolo, sourced from the prestigious Vignolo vineyard in Castiglione Falletto. Produced only in exceptional vintages, this Riserva is aged for an extended period in large Slavonian oak casks, allowing its complex flavors and structure to fully develop. Aromas of dried cherries, rose petals, and tar intertwine with earthy notes of tobacco, leather, and truffle. On the palate, firm yet refined tannins are balanced by vibrant acidity, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering spice and minerality.
