Ca Viola - Barolo 2021 (750ml)
Ca' Viola's Barolos are known for their elegant, balanced character, featuring floral aromas like roses and violets, along with notes of red fruit, truffle, leather, and spice. Reviewers often note a medium-plus to full-bodied palate with fine-tuned tannins and classic acidity, providing a structured yet accessible experience. Some vintages, particularly from Sottocastello di Novello, have been described as having a more feminine and elegant style compared to the powerful, masculine Barolos from the eastern side of the region, though this can vary by the specific cru and vintage.
