Cà Viola Barolo Sottocastello di Novello 2008
The first Barolo represent the achievement of a path who brought to challenge myself with the most important vine from Langa area. The challenge of every great producer from Alba became reality after the purchase of a land at the foot of the Castello di Novello. A vineyard who unite the power of Nebbiolo from Monforte to the elegance of the ones produced as Barolo.
