Ca' Viola 2009 Barturot Dolcetto (Dolcetto d'Alba)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Plump and rich with sweet aromas of Maraschino cherry, blackberry syrup, cinnamon and creamy vanilla, Barturot speaks highly of the Dolcetto grape. The mouthfeel is dense, polished and dry.

Ca' Viola 2005 Vilot Dolcetto (Dolcetto d'Alba)
- $20
A well-made wine that offers plenty of dark fruit, violets and spices. Rich, big, fat and tasty, this is a wine that, while not overly serious, will still make for delicious drinking over the next five years.

Ca' Viola 2009 Brichet Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)

Ca' Viola 2005 Barturot Dolcetto (Dolcetto d'Alba)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $32
A lush fruit nose, with plenty of blackberry jam, woodsmoke and anise. Quite chunky on the palate, but amaiable and easy going, although not a particularly long finish. A pleasant food friendly wine for a weekday night after a hard day at work.

Ca' Viola 2003 Brichet Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- $38
A bit of a disappointment, with modest red fruit flavors accented by hints of rhubarb and pepper. It’s still a solid drink, but doesn’t show the full ripeness of the vintage’s best Barberas, finishing crisp and lemony. Imported by Vias Imports.
