Description

The Barolo Riserva DOCG of Sottocastello di Novello, presented in an elegant jeroboam inside a wooden case, represents an authentic expression of the famous Nebbiolo grape, masterfully cultivated in the Novello area, the heart of the Langhe. This wine is distinguished by its prolonged aging, which enhances the complexity and depth of aromas, giving a wide and enveloping olfactory profile, with notes of withered rose, sweet spices, tobacco, and balsamic hints.

The tasting reveals an elegant structure and silky tannins, perfectly balanced by a vibrant acidity, typical characteristics of Barolo that make it suitable for long aging. The finish is persistent and refined, leaving an unforgettable memory on the palate. Ideal paired with important dishes such as braised meats, red meats, and aged cheeses, this Barolo Riserva highlights the noble character and the wine-making tradition of the Piedmont territory.

Winery history

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

The vineyards are concentrated in the Langhe and Roero, with plots around Alba and in towns such as Mango, Neviglie, Guarene and Novello. The headquarters are located in the hamlet of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, in the municipality of Alba.
