Cavallotto, Barolo Vigna San Giuseppe, 2000
A quarter-century on, this Cavallotto from the warm, generous 2000 vintage is drinking beautifully. Vigna San Giuseppe sits in the heart of the Bricco Boschis cru in Castiglione Falletto — Cavallotto's monopole, planted in 1960, only three hectares of the family's oldest vines. The house aged it traditionally in large Slavonian botti for years before release. 2000 was a forward, riper vintage that has rounded into a wine of unusual approachability for Barolo — the firm Castiglione tannins now melted, the fruit deepened from red cherry to dried plum and tobacco leaf. Fully mature, no upside ahead — this is a window-of-now wine from one of Piedmont's most quietly traditional families.
