Ca’Viola’s “CAVIOT” is an intense, small-red fruity and harmonious red wine made from 100% Nebbiolo. Barolo in its most classic expression, where the blend of grapes coming from vineyards with different soil, exposures and altitudes, contributes to the varietal balance and pleasurable sip. The term Caviòt is the nickname with which the inhabitants of Montelupo Albese affectionately addressed Clemente, Beppe Caviola's father.
Harvested on the first half of October, the vinification process starts with fermentation for 15 days (temperature-controlled tanks), followed by submerged-cap maceration for 10-15 days.
Ageing and refinement for a period of 24 months in large casks. The colour is ruby red with light garnet reflections, introducing an intense aroma of violet, rose and small red fruits, and a slightly balsamic finish. In the mouth the texture is thick and silky, the harmonious structure envelops the palate with soft and persuasive tannins, making itself remembered for a long time in its finish.
Food match: ideal companion of truffle preparations, it makes also a perfect combination with rich stews, game and beef recipes. Ageing potential of about 15+ years, yet ready to bring you enjoyment right now!
Recommended serving-temperature of 14/16°C.
