The 2004 Barolo Sotto Castello di Novello is a super-ripe wine bursting with generous notes of blueberries, spices, violets and sweet toasted oak. This poised, well-defined Barolo possesses lovely depth and vibrancy. It isn’t the most typical Barolo out there, but it does offer outstanding harmony in its own way. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019.
