Buy or order Cavallotto wine

In the heart of the Barolo DOCG, in the village of Castiglione Falletto, lie the unique Cavallotto cru vineyards. Cavallotto is one of Barolo's oldest producers, with a traditional, terroir-focused winemaking style. The diverse terroirs of the Bricco Boschis, Vignolo, and San Giuseppe crus, among others, are beautifully expressed in their Nebbiolo wines. Besides Nebbiolo, Cavallotto produces a stunning Barbera d'Alba Superiore and a powerful Burgundy-style Chardonnay. The village of Castiglione Falletto is steeped in wine history. It is named after the Marquis and Marchioness of Barolo, Carlo Tancredi Falletti and Julia (Giulia) Falletti. Julia, a Frenchman, met Carlo Tancredi in Paris in 1807 and moved with him to Piedmont. She was a good friend of an oenologist from the Champagne region named Louis Oudart, with whom she often philosophized about wine and winemaking. She eventually purchased 23 hectares of vineyards on a hill called Monte della Guardia, planted with Nebbiolo. This hill is now known as Cru Bricco Boschis, named after Giuseppe Boschis, who took over the vineyards from the Marquise. It was precisely here that the foundation was laid for Barolo as we know it today.
