At the end of the eighteenth century the Viberti family arrived in Santa Maria di La Morra and Giulio, one of the brothers, begins making wine. The Viberti family took ownership of the old farmhouse known as “Santamaria” and its land and vineyards in 1850. Silvio and Mario Viberti live in a period in which viticulture in Barolo was an almost heroic activity, a subsistence life.
Capalòt is a sophisticated wine, showing an intensely beautiful palate, and plenty of dry tannins on the finish. The nose is persistent and with spices, florals, and hints of licorice. The aging process has done this wine a fine service and everything is in check now, or you could cellar for many years easily.
