Barturot

The first wine produced by Beppe Caviola in 1991. At the beginning of it all, Beppe immediately set his sights on this vineyard in Montelupo, from which he was convinced an exceptional wine could be made. This the first rent, thanks also to the help of a friend and the advice of a great producer in the Langhe, Beppe’s dreams became reality. Barturot is the company’s historic label.

Organoleptic description

The color is a very intense ruby-purple red. The nose expresses a complex floral and fruity bouquet, with notes of violets, currants and black cherry in the foreground. The mouth entry is firm and denotes excellent body, which is never at the expense of drinkability. Long and harmonious on the finish reminiscent of fruit. Suggested serving temperature: 14-15° C.
