Novello

In the wind-swept Cuneo hills of southern Piedmont, Novello’s population of under a thousand residents devotes its steep clay-limestone slopes entirely to viticulture, notably safeguarding the rare white Nascetta grape. This tiny outpost is one of only 11 municipalities permitted to craft the prestigious Barolo DOCG. The commune hosts 10 verified local producers who shape its distinct terroir, also bottling exceptional Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC. With 25 protected denominations overlapping its territory, Novello’s viticultural identity is defined by micro-climates that yield structural depth, offering wine travelers an intimate look into Piedmontese winemaking, with 1 winery currently open for public tastings.
