The Ovello area occupies the northernmost part of the municipality of Barbaresco and is a large hill with exposures to both West/Southwest and East/Southeast.

The Ovello hill is on average cooler, due to the higher altitude above sea level and the influence of the northern winds that reach most of the vineyard without obstacles. These soil and climate characteristics give more aggressive tannins in youth and a young and exuberant fruit. Produced as a Reserve since 1967, this is also a historic area for the cultivation of Nebbiolo: some Ovello vineyards were in fact already renowned at the end of 1800 and here Domizio Cavazza, the father of Barbaresco, had properties and vineyards.
