Barolo
D.O.C.G. Barolo is the queen denomination of Italian wines. The best red wines of the transalpine country come from this production area, which includes a total of 11 municipalities located in the province of Cuneo, southwest of Alba, within the Piedmont region.
The origin of its name lies in the noble Falletti family, who held the marquisate of Barolo and were the first to work and produce the fruit of their vineyards. Currently, the D.O.C.G. Barolo covers a total area of 2,000 hectares of nebbiolo vines, the sole variety that exclusively characterizes these renowned red wines, distinguished by their aromatic complexity with fruity and spicy notes, powerful tannins, and a very long-lived nature. In fact, according to the regulations of the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (D.O.C.G.) Barolo, wines under this designation must undergo at least 36 months of aging in oak or chestnut barrels before being released for sale.
