Novello, in the southern part of the Barolo region, is another commune getting more recognition thanks to the emergence of the Ravera vineyard. Cogno’s wine is a winner. It has a lovely, deep aroma (a trademark of great Barolos), deep, intense Nebbiolo flavors, and a long finish. It was harvested October 15th. It is quite tannic, and will live for decades.
