Vineyard and terroir
Tenuta Vitivinicola Cavallotto is situated on the outskirts of Castiglione Falletto, at the top of the Bricco Boschis hill. The estate comprises 25 hectares, of which 23 hectares are under vine.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks with nine days of skin contact, followed by 18 days of maceration.
Ageing
The wine matures for two years in Slavonian oak barrels and a further two years in bottle. The underground ageing cellars maintain natural humidity and a temperature of approximately 16 °C. Bottles are stored horizontally in ventilated rooms at a constant 14.5 °C and 75% relative humidity.
Label / history
Approximately 19,000 bottles are produced each year. The estate has belonged to the Cavallotto family for five generations. In 1948, brothers Olivio and Glido inherited the property from their grandfather Giacomo, their father Giuseppe and their uncle Marcello, and began producing and selling wine exclusively from estate-grown grapes.
