The 2019 Cavallotto, Barolo Riserva "Vignolo" was a Merchant's Pick

100 POINT Blue Chip Barolo

September 04, 2025

Leather, cherry, scorched earth, and dried spice abound.  Add lush fruit and "my goodness!" It is no coincidence that this is our second Cavallotto cuvée featured in the past three years.  The richness and texture of Cavallotto wines are unmatched. 

Don’t let this blue chip Barolo get away. 

"Vignolo" is their southern-facing vineyard; we particularly love the silky, ripe fruit that is layered - and always well integrated - with the structure and exotic notes of clove and earth. 

This Cavallotto is no ordinary Barolo either.  It is a "Riserva," which means it spends extra time in the bottle and oak before it is released.  

 

The 2019 Barolo Riserva Vignolo is a deep, sensual wine. Dark red cherry, kirsch, cinnamon, blood orange and pomegranate all race across the palate. The aromatics are especially alluring... Kirsch, rose petal and mulling spice explode on the back end. This is the sort of Barolo that is a total turn-on with a bit of age. Actually, it already is...” Vinous

 

A gorgeous vintage from one of our favorite Piedmont producers, this limited Riserva will have a special place in your cellar.  It will carry you from summer grilling season right through the heartier fare of winter. 

 

Enjoy now and over the next 20 years with soft and hard cheeses as well as grilled or roasted meats. 

 

Cheers!

Don't Let This Blue Chip Get Away!

“What an absolutely gorgeous wine.”

Kerin O'Keefe • 100 / 100

"The best Cavallotto Vignolo Riserva I've had to date, the 2019 is staggeringly stunning, starting with its heady aromas of pine forest, cedar, ripe red berry and spice. All about finesse and showing elegant restraint, the full-bodied, delicious palate delivers succulent Morello cherry, truffle, orange zest and pomegranate accented by white pepper and star anise. Tight, taut but fine-grained tannins provide great support while bright acidity keeps it balanced and fueled with vibrancy. What an absolutely gorgeous wine."

“Plum, cherry, licorice, tar, iron and eucalyptus flavors abound.”

Wine Spectator • 97 / 100

HOT WINES • "Beginning to hit its stride, this red is elegant, with a finely wrought structure of acidity and tannins underneath. Plum, cherry, licorice, tar, iron and eucalyptus flavors abound, and this is corralled on the long aftertaste by vibrant acidity."
