Cavallina is an exquisite wine from a 17-year-old, 5-hectare vineyard located in the Vho area of Tortona. It has a bouquet of floral and fruity aromas. On the palate, notes of flinty minerality and ripe fruit add to its sophistication. Great length and persistence, to the wines complex and elegant profile.
The Timorasso grapes, hand-harvested in late September to early October, undergo a meticulous winemaking process. After a gentle pressing, the must stays in contact with the skins for several days at a controlled temperature, followed by a spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel. The wine is then aged on the lees for one year and undergoes at least six months of bottle aging before release, ensuring a well-rounded and refined final product.
Quiet passion, dedication, and pride for their local grape varieties is what defines the work of Claudio Mariotto, the third generation Mariotto to produce wines on this family estate. Nestled in the southeast corner of Piemonte, a rather unvisited part of the region Claudio Mariotto and a couple of others have fiercely defended their local Timorasso grape variety from extinction. With economic developments in the area over the past 100 years, many producers have abandoned the ancient white Timorasso grape for more lucrative international varietals. Thanks to the close study by Mariotto and peers, the unique characteristics of the powerful, mineral, and herbal Timorasso have been understood and allowed to shine.
