Item # 26693 750mL

An unusual, yet brilliant white Pinot Noir that comes out as a pale rosé. Cavallotto expresses an unrivaled purity, dry, clean and rounded on the palate, aromas of white strawberries and raspberries pervade. The calcareous clay soils of the family's vineyards near Serralunga lend a distinct mineraled streak to the resulting wines. Great for a dinner of clams in olive oil with herbs, shrimp or scallop scampi, or on its own with young cheeses.

Staff Pick Notes

"Pinner" is a contraction of Pinot Nero, the Italian name for Pinot Noir. The name was changed from Langhe Bianco due to DOC label rules. It's a good thing, because if this was called Bianco, it would be even more confusing than it is now. This is a wine that varies quite a bit in color and taste, depending on the warmth of the growing season. For example, while the 2014 was wet and cold, the 2015 was warm and dry. Pair with appetizers or fresh cheese.

Piedmont

The most famous grape in Piedmont is the noble Nebbiolo, which makes the long-lived Barolo and Barbaresco. There are plenty of Nebbiolo-based wines that are quite enjoyable in their youth, however, often produced in smaller, lesser-known regions such as Ghemme or Gattinara. Several other Piedmontese grapes make striking and delicious wines: Pelaverga produces light-colored reds with distinctive notes of strawberry, cherry, and pink peppercorn. The red Freisa is vinified in a variety of styles:...

Pinot Noir

The Burgundy region of northeastern France is the historic home of the Pinot Noir grape, and is the source of the world’s greatest examples. Here one finds renditions of Pinot Noir that deliver power with finesse and grace, wines that have unimaginable depth of flavor, yet are perfectly balanced and ephemeral in the mouth - in short, wines that deliver all that Pinot Noir has to offer. Terroir, the concept that wines from a specific region have unique and identifiable traits, is intricately...

Cava

Dry, delicious Cava is an excellent Champagne alternative. The best examples are aged on the lees (the spent yeast cells used in fermentation) and show complexity to rival that of the best Champagnes.
