More questions

Barolo Riserva DOCG - Sottocastello di Novello - Piazzo Comm. Armando from the historic winery Piazzo Comm. Armando represents an oenological excellence born in the heart of the Langhe, a territory famous for Nebbiolo. This Barolo is made from carefully selected Nebbiolo grapes, benefiting from a unique microclimate and soils rich in limestone and clay, essential elements for the complex and refined expression of the grape variety.

The Riserva is distinguished by long aging, often over five years, which takes place in fine wooden barrels, giving the wine a structured character and deep aromatic complexity. The bouquet opens with aromas of cherry, withered rose, balsamic notes, and hints of sweet spices, while on the palate it shows elegant and well-balanced tannins, accompanied by a lively acidity that guarantees longevity.

Perfect for dishes of red meats, game, and aged cheeses, this Barolo Riserva DOCG embodies Piedmontese tradition and excellence in every sip.

The story
The Piazzo family began their activity in the hills of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio in the 1960s: the couple Armando Piazzo and Gemma Veglia invested in Nebbiolo vineyards and, beginning with the harvest that produced their first wine in 1979, the estate progressively expanded its range to become a leading name in the Langhe. Management later passed to the next generations, who have preserved the family character while introducing innovative practices in the vineyard and cellar.
Production philosophy
The winery combines an artisanal, family-run approach with respect for the land: vineyard care, attention to the Nebbiolo tradition, and the use of modern techniques to enhance the terroir expression of each cru.
Terroir and vineyards
