Cavallotto Dolcetto d’Alba 2016

We all know I am a huge fan of both dolcetto and Cavallotto. So the combination of them both – wow! Cavallotto ages their dolcetto for 6 month in slavonian oak bottim then in cement tanks for 6 months. In my opinion you can store this dolcetto for 5-10 years, but it’s hard to keep them for so long without drinking them!
