Barolo di Novello: il Nebbiolo delle Langhe secondo Le Strette

The article locates Novello within the eleven-commune Barolo zone and traces the dry style of Barolo to nineteenth-century developments associated with Giulia Falletti Colbert, Carlo Alberto, Camillo Benso and oenologist Francesco Staglieno. Barolo vineyards occupy marine sedimentary hills between 170 and 540 m, with variations in marl, clay, sand, altitude and exposure producing different expressions.

Le Strette’s vineyards extend across Novello and Barolo. Bergera-Pezzole and Corini-Pallaretta represent Novello, while Bergeisa lies in Barolo; the range also includes Barolo del Comune di Novello and a traditional Barolo Classico assembled from different estate MGAs. The estate’s approach is to allow each vineyard to define the wine rather than imposing one style, supported by sustainable, SQNPI-certified viticulture and continuity from pruning through bottling.
