Lange Riesling is a new project of Alta Langa and the first white wine in the history of C'Viola. Krem is the nickname of Mr. Caviola's father (Clemente). This special land behind Barolo has unique topography and high altitude characteristics, which produce excellent white wines. Riesling Renano in particular performs best in cool, mineral land. It is a very interesting bottle because it is characterized by a very long aging in winemaking and shows various expressions.

The fresh aroma has white flowers, white peach, lemon, grapefruit and other citrus fruits, as well as hints of cedar. When you put it in your mouth, the strong acidity is impressive. The fresh and juicy taste that is characteristic of this grape variety is fully felt and lasts for several minutes in your mouth. This cantina is run by Giuseppe Caviola, who was awarded the best enologo in 2002 by the Italian wine magazine Gambero Rosso. His talent is one of the best in Italy, and he has now established himself as a great winemaker, having been a consultant for about 30 cantinas at times, mainly in Piedmont. The vineyards are about 9 hectares in Montelupo Alvese, east of Serralunga d'Alba, which produces the most powerful wine in the Barolo region, and the quality of the wine is similar to that of Serralunga. The vineyards are divided into three parcels. Barbera and Nebbiolo are planted in Bormia and Elsa, and Dolcetto is planted in Bartulotto. The vineyards are at an altitude of about 400m and are on steep slopes facing south and southwest. The limestone and clay soils are rich in minerals, which give the fruit a complex flavor. In the summer, about 50% of the grapes are harvested green. Each vine is left with about four bunches, which keeps the yield low. The name Montelupo means wolf mountain, and this is reflected in the label. The picture on the label was painted by the great painter Gianni Gallo of Dogliani. <Fermentation and bottling method at Ca' Viola> Before putting the harvested grapes into the fermentation tank, the grapes that are to be de-stemmed and those that are not are separated. When putting the grapes into the fermentation tank, the de-stemmed and non-de-stemmed grapes are placed alternately and fermented slowly. By alternating grapes with different fermentation times, the wine is given more finesse and elegance. In addition, all red wines are bottled without racking.
