Langhe Nebbiolo Giblin 2019 Ca’ Viola Magnum 150 cl

Description

History

The history of the Ca’ Viola farm begins in Montelupo Albese, not yet famous hills where a new wind begins to blow. Beppe Caviola rents the vineyard of his dreams, and with the help of his dear friend Maurizio Anselmo they start making wine in a garage. One day Elio Altare tastes that wine and encourages Beppe to bottle it. Thus the first Caviola label came out in 1991. Beppe also manages a small plot of Barbera which he decides to vinify according to new guidelines, but here the Caviola family invents a complex in which production. In 2005 the most prestigious chapter begins: leading a vineyard of Nebbiolo from Barolo. The cru Sottocastello di Novello is the chosen one. Thus the first label of the “King of wines” enters the scene. From the hills of the wolves to Dogliani, and from here to Barolo.

Grapes used

100% Nebbiolo

Production method

The grapes are rigorously harvested by hand during the first and second ten days of October. The attention in the vineyard is primary, and the grapes are carefully selected both during the harvest phase and upon arrival in the cellar. This is followed by destemming, with vinification in temperature-controlled tanks for 15 days and post-fermentation maceration for 10/15 days with submerged cap. The refinement takes place in large barrels for a period ranging from 15 to 17 months, a particular note is that they do not resort to filtration before bottling.

Alcohol content

14%

Tasting notes

Ruby red color with garnet hues. The nose is clear and complex, with hints of ripe red fruit, including cherries and blackberries, notes of black pepper and undergrowth spices. On the palate it is elegant, mature, soft and with a good structure. Enveloping and very elegant tannins, with a discreet acidity and final minerality. Very persistent and pleasant.

Possible combinations

Langhe Nebbiolo Giblin is a precious Nebbiolo, rich in sensations and nuances. In combination it is very suitable for savory and important red meat or game dishes, such as braised meats or stews to name a few.
