Barbera d’alba doc Brichet Cà Viola 2018

The Barbera d'Alba "Brichet" is a juicy red wine, produced for the first time in 2002, which best represents the wines of the Piedmontese tradition. After aging for 12 months in a large cask, this wine shows a beautiful dark ruby red color with purple reflections. In the nose it expresses an intense and fruity bouquet, with aromas of ripe cherry, red plum, marasca cherry, small berries and delicate spicy sensations. In the mouth it is very fresh and very drinkable, pleasant and fruity, with a very fine tannic texture. With a good taste persistence on the finish, the Barbera Brichet of Cà Viola seduces with its suitability for all meals, in particular for pasta with meat or game sauce, baked lasagne or roasted white meat.

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.
