Fifty-six years on — a Cavallotto Bricco Boschis from the year the family put the cru name on the label. 1970 is a landmark in Cavallotto history: the year Olivio and brother Gildo added the names of individual single-vineyard parcels (Vigna San Giuseppe, Colle Sudovest, Punta Marcello) to their labels — extending the cru-naming approach they had begun with 'Bricco Boschis' in 1967, a then-novel move that placed Bricco Boschis (their Castiglione Falletto monopole) ahead of nearly every other Barolo grower in single-vineyard transparency. Strict traditional methods, Slavonian-oak casks, long aging — Cavallotto hasn't changed any of it. The 1970 vintage was a classically structured year, and at 56 years this is fully resolved museum-piece Nebbiolo: garnet, ethereal, savory, alive. Pre-current-era release from the Olivio + Gildo generation. Provenance and condition matter at this age; pour gently and decant off any sediment.

More about Cavallotto

The village of Castiglione Falletto is rich with superstars—Giuseppe Mascarello, Brovia, Vietti, Scavino—and Cavallotto stands easily with the best of them. Of this elite group, Cavallotto's wines stand out for their deep fruit, brooding structure, rose petal aromatics, and incredible longevity.

Most of Cavallotto's grapes come from a hill called Bricco Boschis. Cavallotto owns all of it. Thanks to a mostly southern exposure at high altitude and a complex mix of limestone and clay, it's considered one of the top crus of a village known for many great crus. Cavallotto's San Giuseppe Riserva is made from the best grapes from the vineyard's oldest vines, mid-slope.

Cavallotto's other Riserva comes from Vignolo. It is next door to Bricco Boschis and just a little lower down the slope. The wine tends to be less powerful and more floral, and is perfect for drinking on a slightly earlier timescale than the San Giuseppe.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Old Barolo wants simple, beautiful food: roast capon with herbs, agnolotti in clear brodo, aged Castelmagno, or a quiet plate of fresh tagliatelle with butter and white truffle.

Tasting Profile

Translucent garnet, brick at the rim. Dried rose, sour cherry, tobacco, leather, undergrowth, sweet tea, balsamic-tinged truffle. Tannins fully resolved, silky. Long savory finish. A whisper from another era.
