ABOUT THIS WINE
Fratelli Cavallotto is a historic estate located in Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Barolo zone. Established in 1928, the estate is renowned for its traditional winemaking philosophy and its monopole vineyard, Bricco Boschis. This Langhe Nebbiolo is crafted from younger vines grown on the estate's prized slopes, offering a vibrant yet structured expression of the Nebbiolo grape that mirrors the complexity of their Barolo bottlings but with earlier accessibility.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Sourced entirely from estate-owned vineyards in Castiglione Falletto. The grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks, accompanied by a maceration period of around 15-20 days. The wine is aged for approximately 12 to 18 months in large Slavonian oak casks (botti) of various sizes, preserving the purity of the fruit while gently softening the Nebbiolo tannins before bottling.
