Ca’ Viola Barolo ‘Sottocastello di Novello’ is a 100% Nebbiolo wine sourced from a nearly 2 hectare organically farmed vineyard in the municipality of Novello. The soils here are moderately calcareous, with a clay sandy composition, and are home to vines approximately 20 years old, situated at an altitude of 450 meters with a south to south easterly exposure. In the cellar, the grapes are placed into unlined concrete vats for temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation incorporating a portion of whole clusters followed by 15–30 days of maceration on the skins using the submerged-cap technique. The subsequent aging process lasts at least three years: two years in large oak casks and one year in concrete. Finally, the wine is bottled without undergoing any filtration.
Ca’ Viola Barolo ‘Sottocastello di Novello’ displays a ruby red color with bright, garnet hued reflections. The bouquet is deep and austere, revealing expansive notes of black cherry, rhubarb, cinchona, chocolate, and tobacco, further enriched by balsamic nuances and hints of the forest floor. On the palate, the wine is elegant, complex, and energetic, characterized by a vibrant freshness and a velvety tannic structure that leads into a long, persuasive finish.
