From a four-hectare plot just underneath the castle of Novello as the name suggests. This has a sweet, powerful dark cherry nose with a little more focus than the Classico. There is some punch to this, a little more intensity and a savoury/sweetness on the nose. And in the mouth, it gets more serious, more grown-up. A savoury edge again. This is very 'Barolo' in character and has an excellent savoury and dry finish. Proper wine, that persists on the palate. Very good again.
