Ca’Viola Sottocastello di Novello Barolo 2020

This is fantastic, with great energy and freshness that gives an abundance of freshly cut flowers, raspberries and dried mushrooms. Medium-bodied with refined tannins that run the length of the wine and give texture and focus. A harmonious and vivid young 2020. Perhaps the best ever from here? Drink in two or three years. Try after 2027. Score – 97. (jamessuckling.com, Aug. 16, 2024)
