Description
What kind of wine it is
Cavallotto's Langhe Nebbiolo is an organic red wine with a broad and intense aromatic profile. On the palate, it is enveloping, supported by a pronounced acidity that ensures a remarkable capacity for ageing. The bouquet reveals rich fruity notes of cherry and raspberry, accompanied by floral hints of rose and nuances of undergrowth. This Piedmontese red boasts a robust structure that makes it ideal paired with cured meats, grilled red meats, mature cheeses and even chocolate, with a suggestion to decant for about an hour before serving.
Where it comes from
This wine is produced in Piedmont, in the heart of the Langhe, by the Cavallotto winery. The grapes come from the youngest vineyards located in historically prestigious crus such as Bricco Boschis, Codana, Vignolo and Pernanno. The origin from these specific subzones gives the wine typical aromas of the area and a well-defined identity. The connection to its homeland emerges in the pure expression of Nebbiolo, faithfully reflecting the characteristics of the Piedmontese soils renowned for producing great structured reds.
How it is produced
The process involves total destemming of the grapes and a traditional fermentation in horizontal tanks, spontaneously started by indigenous yeasts. The semi-submerged cap maceration lasts from 18 to 30 days, encouraging the extraction of aromatic components. In spring, malolactic fermentation takes place in cement tanks. The process concludes with maturation in Slavonian oak barrels for a period between 15 and 24 months, followed by a further six months of bottle ageing to stabilise the sensory profile.
