SPECIFICATIONS

TASTING NOTES

The Cavalleri family's holdings in Erbusco were first documented in the 15th century, but it is from the late 1960s onwards, thanks to the contribution of Gian Paolo Cavalleri and his son Giovanni, that the company began its contemporary journey, carving out a place for itself among the companies that have been able to make the most of the vocation of the land and the quality of the wines of Franciacorta. Guided to this day by Giovanni's grandchildren, Cavalleri now owns 42 hectares of vineyards, cultivated according to principles of utmost respect for the environment and the ecosystem, so as to be able to guarantee the highest quality grapes in the winery, and to be able to best represent their seasonal and varietal characteristics. Made from only Chardonnay grapes from the oldest vineyards with the best exposure, Cavalleri Collezione Grandi Cru is a Franciacorta with great finesse and balance. After the first fermentation and 10% ageing in stainless steel and wood, this Franciacorta Millesimato stays on the lees for about 60 months. The wine in the glass is a beautiful intense golden yellow, with a lively and persistent perlage. Varietal notes typical of Chardonnay dominate the nose, such as white-fleshed fruit and flowers, with a slightly herbaceous touch, followed by buttery and fragrant notes. The palate is taut and fresh, with a perfect balance between volume and lightness of the wine. Cavalleri's Collezione Grandi Cru is a very pleasant refined sparkling wine, characteristics that make it perfect to drink during a romantic dinner, paired with fish dishes, such as a dish of raw fish or seafood risotto.

THE WINERY

Cavalleri

In Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of Barolo is the Cavallotto Estate with a family that since 1928 has cultivated the vineyards of the Bricco Boschis hill. A history of family and wine tradition that has matured over time. In 1946 they were among the first growers in the area to vinify their own grapes, creating in 1948 the first label of Barolo Cavallotto. Today the company is led by Laura, Giuseppe and Alfio, the fourth generation of Cavallotto born and raised in Bricco Boschis. In this estate are vinified only grapes owned, from which are obtained DOC and DOCG wines: Barolo, Dolcetto d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba, Langhe Nebbiolo, Langhe Freisa, Langhe Grign from Grignolino grapes, Langhe Chardonnay and Pinner from Pinot Noir. The winery covers 25 hectares of vineyards in a single body, all owned by the family and cultivated with an innovative system of organic viticulture. For the care of the soil, the Cavallotto family has chosen the technique of spontaneous grassing and the sub-row is also mowed by hand. The work in the vineyard is personally supervised by Alfio and Giuseppe, winemakers born in this Estate, in which they want to leave their personal mark in respect of the land and family tradition. All the grapes produced have been vinified and bottled under the Cavallotto brand since 1948, with malolactic fermentation by indigenous yeasts, without the need to inoculate bacteria. Choices and vinification techniques that have found their maximum expression in the enhancement of Bricco Boschis, a label recognized as an excellence of Barolo and Piedmont. Name and address producer/distributor: Cavallotto Fratelli, Tenuta vitivinicola Bricco Boschis, Via Alba - Monforte, Bricco Boschis - 12060 Castiglione Falletto (CN). The products of this cellar should be stored in a cool and dry place away from heat sources.
