Cru in Barbaresco

Ovello

The hills that climb from Neive towards Barbaresco are home to the Ovello cru vineyards, where the soil contains more clay. This characteristic, together with the presence of bluish marls, gives the wines greater potency and more evident tannins, as well as considerable mineral complexity.
