The territory

In the heart Piedmont region, this noble wine region encompasses the town of Barolo and 10 nearby municipalities. Along twisting roads that ascend hillsides covered with regular rows of Nebbiolo vines, you will find always an ancient castle, a celebrated wine estate, or a hamlet with breathtaking views. 
According the rules, Barolo come exclusively from eleven villages, spread over a surface of some 1,700 hectares: Barolo, Cherasco, Castiglione Falletto, Diano d’Alba, Grinzane Cavour, La Morra, Monforte d’Alba, Novello, Roddi, Serralunga d’Alba, Verduno. 

The Wines

During XVII century, the Nebbiolo grape was already appreciated by the local aristocracy, but was the French oenologist Alexandre-Pierre Odart, called by the Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, to improve the production process, arriving at the creation of the “King of wines”. 
Barolo wines sit in the cellar at least 38 months, beginning with eighteen of those months in wood barrels, while the “Riserva” need five years ageing. 
The colour is red cherry, vivid and bustling, while become more orange in colour with ageing. The aromas of rose and red fruit jam blend with that boisé given by the ageing in the wood barrels, with delightful hints of toasted bread, vanilla and tobacco.
