A Barolo blended from Nebbiolo grown across several vineyards in the Barolo zone, mainly around Novello. 'Caviòt' is Beppe Caviola's own name in Piedmontese dialect. Fermented for about 15 days in temperature-controlled tanks with 10-15 days of post-fermentation maceration, then aged 24 months in large oak barrels. Generous and inviting, leading with plush red fruit and dark cherry aromatics accented by fresh garden herbs and mint, with ripe raspberry and plum unfolding on the palate alongside subtle herbal complexity.
Named after Beppe himself, Caviòt is the most immediately generous of Ca' Viola's Barolos — plush fruit and herbal lift over the appellation's usual tannic reserve.
New to wine?
A more generous, fruit-forward style of Barolo — a friendlier entry point into the wine than the single-vineyard Sottocastello bottlings.
