The History of Cavallotto

The history of Domaine Cavallotto began in 1928, when great-grandfather Giacomo Cavallotto acquired the entire Bricco Boschis hillside property in Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the historic Barolo zone. The family thus put down roots in a place steeped in history, once associated with the Marchioness of Barolo, Juliette Colbert, whose estate manager, Giuseppe Boschis, gave the hill its name.

In 1946, just after the war, the Cavallottos were among the first growers in Castiglione Falletto to make wine from their entire harvest themselves. The winery was officially established in 1948 with the first bottle of Barolo bearing the Cavallotto name. In 1967, the Bricco Boschis cru name appeared proudly on the label, a pioneering move at the time. Today, the fourth generation—Alfio, Giuseppe and Laura—carries on that expertise, making wine exclusively from grapes grown in their own vineyards.

Cavallotto’s Terroirs and Vineyards

The estate’s terroir encompasses about 23 hectares of contiguous vineyards surrounding the winery, at an altitude of nearly 300 meters. At its heart is the Bricco Boschis hill, whose calcareous marl soils give Nebbiolo great depth. The neighboring Vignolo cru, lower down, adds a softer, fleshier character. The predominantly southwest-facing slopes form a natural amphitheater ideal for ripening grapes.

The vineyards are farmed entirely organically, with the utmost respect for the soil and the expression of place. Alongside Nebbiolo, Barolo’s leading grape, the estate grows Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa, Grignolino, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, reflecting a rich range of grape varieties rooted in Langhe tradition.

Winemaking at Cavallotto

Winemaking at Cavallotto remains firmly traditional and artisanal. Fermentation relies on native yeasts, followed by long submerged-cap macerations that can last several weeks for the finest Nebbiolo wines. The estate then favors aging in large Slavonian oak casks in its old cellars carved into the tuff, where a constant temperature encourages slow, harmonious maturation.

The Barolos generally spend three years in large casks, then mature further in bottle before release, giving them structure, finesse and remarkable aging potential. The more approachable wines, aged for a shorter time in wood or concrete tanks, offer an immediate expression of their grapes’ freshness and fruit.

Cavallotto’s Wines

Barolo Bricco Boschis: a true signature wine of the estate, this Barolo from the cru of the same name combines power and elegance. Aged for three years in large casks, it reveals aromas of rose, peony, licorice and red fruit, with a remarkably fine structure and excellent aging potential.

Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe: a prestigious wine from the finest plot on Bricco Boschis, produced only in the greatest vintages. Majestic and profound, this commanding Barolo reveals its full softness and complexity over time.

Barolo Riserva Vignolo: the estate’s second major Riserva, from the Vignolo cru at a slightly lower altitude. Fuller-bodied and more velvety, it offers a creamy, refined expression of Castiglione Falletto Nebbiolo.

Langhe Nebbiolo: made from declassified Barolo Bricco Boschis and grapes from young vines, this well-structured Nebbiolo reveals notes of red fruit, flowers and spice. Approachable and harmonious, it offers a taste of the estate’s pedigree at a more accessible price.

Barbera d'Alba Vigna del Cuculo: from a plot on Bricco Boschis, this dense, full-bodied Barbera delights with its texture, black fruit and spice aromas, and well-balanced acidity. It ages for two years in large Slavonian oak casks.

Dolcetto d'Alba Vigna Scot: from a plot between Bricco Boschis and Vignolo, this medium-bodied, supple Dolcetto offers notes of cherry and red fruit with a mineral touch. Juicy and enjoyable, it is best enjoyed young.

Langhe Freisa: produced in small quantities from the indigenous Freisa grape, this well-structured, complex wine develops aromas of cherry, strawberry, flowers and spice in a harmonious, distinctive style.

Langhe Grign: made from the rare Grignolino grape, this wine stands out for its freshness, aromatic finesse and light character, true to Piedmont’s oldest traditions.

Langhe Chardonnay: a white wine grown on clay-limestone soils, vinified and aged to preserve its purity and freshness, with a balanced texture from partial malolactic fermentation.

Pinner: an original white wine made from Pinot Noir vinified as a white, this small-production wine showcases the estate’s creativity and rounds out a remarkably diverse range.
