About the Winery:
Giuseppe "Beppe" Caviola is one of the most important oenologists in Italy. He has worked as a winemaking consultant for many notable producers and in 2002, Beppe was named "Enologist of the Year" by the Italian wine industry's most important guide, Gambero Rosso.

In 1991 Beppe decided to make his own wine and located his cellar in Dogliani, a small town in Langhe in the heart of Piemonte. Ca'Viola means "little violet house" in local dialect. Since then, Ca' Viola's mission has been to offer the best expression of Piemontese wine, investing every single day in quality, from vineyard to bottle.

Ratings & Reviews

95 Points - James Suckling:
"A very pretty 2019 with polished tannins in all the right places and a silky texture. It’s medium-bodied with lovely fruit and a fresh and refined finish. Strawberry, cloves and other spices on the palate. Yet very elegant. Drinkable but better in 2026." (Juln 2023)

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"Aromas of macerated raspberries, wild rose, thyme and savory spice open the nose of this pretty Barolo. The fine-tuned and well-constructed palate delivers a deep core of cherry fruit in tandem with forest floor and truffle notes finishing with firm, but fine tannins and classic acidity. Drink 2025–2040." - Jeff Porter (Dec 2023) 

92 Points - Wine Spectator:
"Expressive, featuring cherry and strawberry fruit complemented by iron, menthol and mineral flavors. Firms up as this builds to a long aftertaste, where the fruit returns to provide equilibrium. Best from 2026 through 2043. 1,250 cases made, 540 cases imported." - Bruce Sanderson (Dec 2023)
