BAROLO SOTTOCASTELLO DI NOVELLO RISERVA

Ca’Viola’s “SOTTOCASTELLO di NOVELLO RISERVA” is a floral, powerful, dense yet subtle, fresh and persistent red wine made from 100% Nebbiolo, from clayey-silty gray-whitish marl (Marl of S. Agata Fossili laminate) with layers of sand and sandstone (Arenarie di Diano d’Alba).
Another dream, the first “Reserve” of Beppe Caviola and his team. Highest quality grapes. This wine rests for a total of 7 years, first in large oak and then ceramic amphorae barrels, then in the bottle. An apotheosis of the King’s of Reds expression.
Harvested on the first half of October, the vinification process starts with fermentation for 15-20 days in thermo-controlled non-vitrified concrete vats. Maceration follows for 25-30 days with submerged cap.
Ageing approx. for a period of 36 months in large barrels, 12 months in cermaic amphorae, and approx. 24 months in the bottle.
The appearance of this Barolo Riserva is dark, intense and with a clear garnet. The nose delivers hints of cherry, raspberry, floral and citrusy notes, violet, dog rose and liquorice. With a powerful, dense and structured taste, it
leaves room for a subtle tannin; the palate is tonic and handsome, very savoury, fresh and persistent in its finish, inviting for a meditative enjoyment.
Food match: Wild boar stews are also here a match made in heaven. Delicious with rich truffles dishes, such as “Tajarin all’uovo” with white truffles, or creamy tagliatelle with black truffles.
This King is ready to make you dream! Limited series of only 1800 bottles.
