The 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo from Cavallotto is a lovely wine, starting with its aromas of red berry, wild rose, hay and peach pit. Elegant and fresh, the palate offers succulent strawberry, bitter orange, star anise and pink peppercorn before an almost salty finish. Made from the estate’s youngest Nebbiolo vines and aged for 15-18 months in Slavonian oak casks, it has lithe tannins and surprisingly fresh acidity for the vintage. Drink through 2033. (KO)

The 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo is aged for 18 months in large Slavonian oak casks and pours a youthful ruby red color. It offers a ripe perfume that’s a bit shy, but the palate really shines, offering ripe red berries, a bit of rustic earth, fresh tobacco, and incense. Medium-bodied, zesty, and refreshing, with a good balance of sunny pure fruit, fine tannins, and refreshing acidity, it’s a very appealing Nebbiolo to drink now or over the next 8-10 years. A star in this category, no doubt, it’s delicious and I would snap it up. Drink 2026-2036. (AF)

This is plump and exhibits cherry, plum, hay, menthol and iron flavors. Beautifully balanced and lingers nicely on the firm, white pepper–tinged finish. Drink now. 600 cases made, 200 cases imported. (BS)

Notes

The 2023 Cavallotto Langhe Nebbiolo (DOC) is essentially a "Baby Barolo" of extraordinary pedigree, acting as a direct, uncompromised insider’s pass to the family’s revered estate in Castiglione Falletto. Alfio, Giuseppe, and Laura Cavallotto do not source outside fruit for this bottling; instead, it is estate-grown entirely on the lower fringes of their legendary Bricco Boschis cru. Rooted deeply in highly calcareous Helvetian clay-limestone marls, this juice receives the exact same elite treatment as their flagship Barolos: a slow, natural yeast fermentation in stainless steel with semi-submerged cap maceration for 18 to 22 days. It is then raised for roughly 15 to 18 months strictly in large, neutral Slavonian oak botti, yielding a deep, terroir-driven architecture with zero modern makeup.
