Garnet color with a brick red rim. Nose has a lot of marasca cherry, some florals, thyme and warm spice. On the palate this has a lot of red and black cherry, kirsch, and mint. Medium+ acidity, medium body, tannins are well integrated on the palate right now but are very long and not yet fully integrated through the finish. A little rustic for Cavallotto but not surprising for the vintage (especially given that this 2017 clocks in at 14.5%).

très agréable et équilibré à l'ouverture, nez floral, belle acidité, tanins fermes mais jolis, il se déséquilibre après 1h-2h d'aération, avec des tanins un peu envahissants. le fond de bouteille laissé sans rebouchage est plus fondu le lendemain (12h) donc devrait gagner à la garde. 90-91 à l'ouverture. Langhe dans un style mini-barolo

Vin encore puissant qui mérite quelques années de cave pour s'épanouir. Fermé le premier jour, la deuxième moitié de la bouteille était très bonne le lendemain. A carafer impérativement.

So much better 24 hours later—unbelievable! It softened up revealing a rounder profile marked by dry cherries and bramble fruits.

Moderate floral anise nose. Medium to full bodied, well balanced, jammy and chalky with nice fruit and acid.
