The 2007 Barolo Riserva Vignolo (tasted from cask) shows wonderful textural nuance in its raspberries, flowers and mint. Silky tannins lead to the gorgeous, creamy finish. The 2007 Vignolo won’t be released until 2014 or so, but it is a very promising Barolo. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027. Cavallotto has been on a tear of late. This year I tasted a number of exceptional wines from this small, family-run property. In particular, readers should keep an eye out for the estate’s 2005s. Late flowering that year reduced the crop by nearly 50% and resulted in a set of huge, powerful wines that are atypical for the vintage and that should age exquisitely over the coming years.A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including: de Grazia Imports; tel.
