Caviòt

The term “Caviòt” is the nickname (stranòm in Piedmontese) with which the residents of Motelupo Albese affectionately addressed Clement, Beppe Caviola’s father. Barolo in its most classic sense, where the blend of grapes from vineyards with different soils, exposures and altitudes, contributes to varietal balance and pleasant drinking. The 2013 vintage ushers in an important addition to the company’s product catalog, a Barolo that was capable of showing its best even at a young age.
