The story
Ca' Viola was established from the winemaking activity of Giuseppe Caviola. The estate took its first steps in the early 1990s, beginning with leased vineyards in Montelupo Albese and its first artisanal vinifications. Over time the business has developed wines of Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo; the production site and hospitality activities are concentrated in Dogliani.
Production philosophy
Strong focus on terroir and quality: production focused on expressing local grapes through minimally invasive vinification, research that blends tradition and innovation, and oenological consultancy to deepen the understanding of wine in its various aspects.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate works vineyards in the Langhe, with principal plots in Montelupo, in Novello and in Bossolasco. The vines are tended on steep slopes and at elevations that contribute structure and longevity to the wines.
Awards and recognition
Among the advertised accolades is the Barolo Novello 2018, which was awarded five grapes by Bibenda. Founder Giuseppe "Beppe" Caviola is cited as Enologist of the Year in several secondary sources.
