A little about Barolo

Before ‘getting to know’ some of the best wineries in the region, let’s talk a little bit about this gem that is Barolo. The wine is made from Nebiollo grapes, which gets its name for having a slightly gray skin, which resembles the fog that predominates the region in some periods of the year. How about a guided tour of the winery with bicycle and app in Barolo? Click here to learn more!

The maturation time of the wine varies a lot and can reach 10 years! The predominant aromas of this unique wine are those of violet, licorice and a sweet touch of currant, however, the more aged, the more the aromas of pepper, flowers, fruits, tobacco and tar are noticeable. Nowadays it is possible to find young wines suitable for consumption, but the best are the aged ones, where it is possible to feel all the aromas and flavors in a clear and delicious way!
