Beppe Caviola had to deal with wine since when he was a boy, attending the Enological school of Alba and then starting to work at the “Centro per l’Enologia” at Gallo, where he met Maurizio Anselmo. With Maurizio he formed a deep friendship and borrowed a tractor to start working a vineyard of Montelupo. A short time later Beppe rented the vineyard of his dreams, called Barturot, and began to vinify the grapes in the garage of his parents' house. It was in 1991 that, thanks to the suggestion of Elio Altare, he began bottling and produced his first 860 bottles of Dolcetto wine. In 1996 Beppe also decided to take advantage of the skills of taster aged over the years starting a consultancy activity obtaining excellent results. In 2005 he started the production of the prestigious Barolo wine.
