The 2003 vintage was quite a challenge at Cavallotto. Yields were down about 30% for the San Giuseppe and 40-50% for the Vignolo, mostly because of dehydration. Alfio Cavallotto opted for shorter macerations than normal (around 22 days) and gave the Riservas three years in oak, which is also shorter than normal. In keeping with the style of the year, both Riservas are a bit bombastic.

I continue to be deeply impressed with the wines that are emerging from this family-owned property in Castiglione Falletto. Cavallotto makes their Barolos in an updated traditional style that has produced compelling results, especially over the last few years. Cavallotto is one of Piedmont's best kept secrets, and not just for Barolo. Their entry-level wines offer superb quality for the money. Incidentally, I have seen a fair amount of 2000 and 2001 Barolo Bricco Boschis Riserva Vigna San Giuseppe on the US market recently at what are very fair prices, to put it mildly. Readers with access to those wines should run, not walk, as a number of recent bottles have been spectacular, especially for the money.
