Cavallotto Estate has been in the family for generations and in 1928 became the first of the area to produce and trade wines exclusively from the grapes of its own vineyards. The constant prerogative of the family from the year 1974 is the continuous regard to oenological and agronomic natural techniques and methodologies, keeping on the traditional way to vinificate and age their Classic wines.Information on the lots offered from Alfio Cavallotto, Director of the Estate2001 is of the best vintages of Barolo ever produced in the history of the Estate. In particular, this Barolo Riserva Albeisa comes from a single parcel named “Vigna San Giuseppe” that represents the central and best part of the Bricco Boschis Cru, Cavallotto produced only 350 double magnums. 2004 was also an excllent vintage, albeit higher volumes than 2001. Cavallotto released 1.500 double magnums of Barolo Riserva in 2001. 2010 Barolo Bricco Boschis Riserva Vigna San Giuseppe offered in magnums; despite its young age and its great potential to age a very long time, this vintage seems much more complex already, smooth and elegant. Cavallotto produced 1.200 magnums. Six vintages of Barolo Riserva Vignolo that concluded the great ‘90s. Vignolo Cru is located in front of Bricco Boschis with a south-west exposure. Vignolo is also vinified as a Barolo Riserva. The production varies from 6.000 to 7.000 bottles per annum.The last lot offers a rare collection of six excellent and historic vintages of Barolo. 1957 Barolo, an excellent vintage that was characterized by a very late harvest that lasted until November.

Production of 13.333 bottles and 199 Magnums. 1985 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna Colle SudOvest, another historic and very important vintage of Barolo; a very rare bottle of the parcel Colle SudOvest commercialized from 1970 to 1993 and denominated Riserva.
