THE STORY:

The story begins in Montelupo Albese, where Beppe Caviola rents the vineyard of his dreams, called Barturot, and thanks to the skills he learned during his studies at the Alba School of Oenology, he begins to vinify the grapes in the garage of his parents' house. Driven by curiosity and intuition, Beppe Caviola is convinced that innovation must always be at the service of tradition. A significant step for a dreamer who grew up in the Langhe of the time: hills that were not yet famous, where a new wind was starting to blow, and where owning a tractor to work a vineyard could make the difference.

Beppe's great debut came when, encouraged by the already established Barolo star Elio Altare, he bottled what would be his first label, the Dolcetto Barturot.

Another challenge immediately follows: in Montelupo, Beppe also manages a small plot of Barbera which he decides to vinify according to new guidelines, and the famous Bric du Luv is born, which sums up the evolution that is beginning.

In 1996, with the birth of the new labels, Dolcetto Vilot and Barbera Brichet, Beppe dedicated himself completely to viticulture, while at the same time exploiting the skills as a taster refined over the years. Thus began the consultancy for producer friends - Elio Altare, Abbona Marziano, Angelo Rocca, Quinto Chionetti, Domenico Clerico, Luca Vietti, Stefano Mocagatta, Valter Fissore - which soon turned into a real business. Thus began his career as an oenologist, arriving to receive in 2002 the nomination of "Oenologist of the Year" by Gambero Rosso and Slow Food, recognitions that allowed him to undertake consultancy outside the region.
