2013 Cavallotto, Vignolo - Barolo Riserva - 2 Bottles (0.75L)

Two bottles of Cavallotto Barolo Bricco Boschis Riserva Vignolo 2013 — from the 1.96-hectare certified organic Vignolo MGA in Castiglione Falletto, one of Barolo’s most underrated and collectible Riservas, aged an extraordinary 60 months in large Slavonian oak botti. Antonio Galloni of Vinous once described Cavallotto as “the greatest Barolo producer few people have ever heard of.” The 2013 Vignolo is described as “a surprisingly weighty and structured wine from a site that typically shows a more delicate side of Nebbiolo — the 2013 vintage gave many good surprises. Shows precision, heft and power — aromas of dark fruits, rose and violet on the nose; precisely delineated structure of ripe tannins, fine acids, mature fruit and mid-weight structure. It finishes with typical Vignolo grace.” Kerin O’Keefe of Wine Enthusiast wrote: “Underbrush, tilled soil, blue flower, pipe tobacco and wild berry aromas mingle with leather and menthol. Firmly structured and enveloping, the delicious palate delivers raspberry compote, dried cherry, baking spice and star anise, while tightly woven but fine-grained tannins provide support. It’s already tempting but hold for even more complexity. Drink 2023–2043.” Rated 97/100 Wine Enthusiast (Cellar Selection), 94/100 aggregato. Both bottles certified organic, in perfect condition — intact labels and capsules, top fill level. Stored in a professional temperature-controlled cellar.
