Description
The commune of Novello lies at the south end of the Tortonian valley, but also on the junction with the valley to Monforte d’Alba. Its geology is complex and unusual: layers of exploded limestone, but with clay, manganese and iron oxide. The latter is responsible for what Giuseppe likes to compare to a character analogous to distorted electric guitar – powerful and accentuated, yet with detectable harmony. The wine had 55 days on skins, and 28 months in botti. The mid-palate is robust, with the style of 2020 providing a plumped, fruity cushion of sweet red fruit.
