"Normale" frequently appears on producers' and importers' lists to
indicate the producer's basic offering (not on the label, which
usually just says "Barolo") without a vinyard designation. As such it
would usually (normally?) not be a riserva. But for the most part,
the single-vinyard bottlings are not riservas, either.
