Cavallotto
The family claims sole ownership of the beautiful Bricco Boschis cru in the Castiglione Falletto district (also home to Scavino and Azelia), where they have been growing Nebbiolo since 1929, and bottling their own wine since 1948. These richly structured wines place emphasis on elegance and longevity, attributable to excellent vineyards in the Bricco Boschis and Vignolo crus and traditional long maturation in large Slovenian oak. Steadfast devotion to tradition combined with a high regard and respect for modern viticultural and vinification techniques result in complex and elegant Baroli that are released for sale only when they have acquired a perfect mature harmony; often the release date falls much later than those of other producers. The Dolcetto and Barbera from the estate are deliciously soft, without the modern flash of many of the others found in this region, and offer great value.
Farming Practices: Integrated insect and disease control is employed. Only copper- and sulfur- based products are used. Alfio Cavallotto is part of a group of producers that purchase quarry sulfur in Sicily (Sicilian sulfur is considered among the best). No fertilizers are used. Spontaneous cover crops (grass) are left between the rows of vines. The grass is then mowed, but the soil is not tilled (the turf is left in place). Low dosage of SO2 in the wines. Bottling is carried out using Nitrogen (to prevent oxidation) so that a lower dosage of SO2 is needed before bottling. Cavallotto claims that the estate would qualify to be certified organic.
