The estate focuses on low yields and meticulous vineyard work, with careful bunch selection and, typically, hand harvesting to ensure only perfectly ripe, healthy fruit is brought to the winery. Vinification is traditionally focused yet precise: the grapes are gently crushed and fermented in temperature-controlled tanks, allowing for a long, measured maceration to extract fine tannins and deep color without sacrificing elegance. The Brunello then spends extended time aging in large oak (often Slavonian or a mix of large-format barrels), where it slowly refines its texture and aromatic profile before bottling and additional bottle rest, in accordance with Brunello di Montalcino regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Brunello is an outstanding partner to rich, savory dishes—think Tuscan bistecca alla fiorentina, slow-braised beef or veal, game birds, roasted lamb with herbs, or dishes featuring porcini mushrooms and truffles.

The exposure is predominantly south and southwest, ensuring excellent ripening while preserving freshness. Cavallotto farms these vineyards organically, using low yields and careful canopy management to achieve concentration and balance. Grapes are harvested by hand, parcel by parcel, at optimal phenolic ripeness and brought quickly to the cellar for gentle crushing and destemming. Fermentation takes place in traditional vertical, temperature-controlled oak vats with extended maceration on the skins to extract tannin, color and aromatics in a balanced way. The wine is then aged for several years in large Slavonian oak botti, followed by additional bottle aging in the estate’s cool cellars before release as a Riserva, in line with classic Barolo tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Riserva is a superb partner for rich, savory dishes that can stand up to its structure and complexity.
