Winery: CavallottoVintage: 2012Grape: NebbioloDrinking window: 2020 - 2032Region: PiedmontProduction: 10.000 bottlesTHE ITALIAN GRAPE (95)This is absolutely brilliant! A wine with 5 years of aging in traditional Slovenian oak, allowing the Nebbiolo to remain true to its nature but in an extraordinarily complex way. This is definitely a wine for the cellar, and I would recommend opening it only after 15 years (2027). It features deep notes of leather, tobacco, and earth, with an intense aroma and an incredibly long, pure finish. Truly exceptional.ROBERT PARKER (95)FALSTAFF (95)Brilliant, intense ruby with garnet highlights. The nose is dense and compact, brimming with ripe cherries and plums, backed by intense notes of hazelnuts and truffles. On the palate, it offers a rich, velvety texture with lush, ripe fruit. It unfolds with tightly woven, prominent tannins, delivering warmth and depth. The finish is exceptionally long, leaving a lasting impression. Show more
