The 2007 Langhe Nebbiolo is made from the estate’s youngest plants and given a relatively short (for this producer!) 12 months in cask. This fat, rich Nebbiolo shows tons of vintage character in its generous fruit and flashy personality. It is an ideal choice for readers who want to get a sense of what the vintage holds. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015.
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.
