Clem is the first Riesling in the history of Ca' Viola. It was born in the heart of the Langhe, an area universally recognised for the quality of its red wines, but which has also proved to have excellent potential for the cultivation of special grape varieties such as Rhine Riesling. The marly limestone and clay soils, rich in minerals, combined with the average altitude of 600 metres and southern exposure, in fact, create an ideal microclimate for the ripening of this noble grape variety. Here, the grapes find the perfect balance between sugars and acidity, developing complex and mineral aromas. After all, Rhine Riesling is a grape variety that expresses itself best in cool climates and mineral soils. The grapes, harvested by hand between the third decade of September and the first of October, are carefully selected to preserve their freshness and integrity. After a soft pressing, the must decants statically at a controlled temperature. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks for 15-20 days, preserving the floral and fruity aromas of the grapes. This is followed by 10 months of ageing in steel 'sur lie', i.e. on the fine lees, which gives the wine complexity and harmony. Brilliant yellow in colour, the nose reveals an intense and fragrant bouquet, where scents of white flowers, such as acacia and jasmine, combine with delicate notes of white-fleshed fruit, such as peach and pear. In the mouth, Clem captivates with its freshness and minerality. The lively acidity, typical of Riesling, perfectly balances the residual sweetness, resulting in a pleasant and harmonious sip. A wine capable of evolving over time, fascinating with its many facets and extraordinary longevity. Ideal as an aperitif, but not only. It accompanies fish or vegetable hors d'oeuvres, to be tried with light first courses, risottos and pasta salads.
This is the story of a dream come true. A dream that has its origins in the beautiful hills of the Langa, where Beppe Caviola, a budding young oenologist, started his small wine production in the 1980s. We are in Montelupo Albese. Here, Beppe, together with his friend Maurizio Anselmo, rents his first vineyard, Barturot, and, like a local Steve Jobs, uses his parents' garage to create his first wine. Little more than an experiment, let's be clear, but already capable of attracting the attentions of a great figure in the wine world like Elio Altare, who sensed the potential of this young winemaker and encouraged Beppe to bottle his product. Thus was born, in 1991, the first label signed Ca' Viola. From then on it would be a long ride. A continuous expansion and experimentation. In 2002 Beppe, with his wife Simonetta, moved the winery to Dogliani and here, at Villa Bracco, a modern centre was born where production, consultancy and tourist hospitality coexist in harmony. So much has been achieved since the family's small garage. But Beppe Caviola does not seem to look back. His gaze, rather, is always on the future and the next challenges to be faced.
