Barolo, one among the most famous and appreciated Italian red wines, represents excellence in enology and has been described as “the king of wines, the wine of kings”. It is named after a municipality, or, more specifically, after a feud owned by the Marquises of Falletto, who created this renowned wine at the beginning of the 19th century. Barolo is produced with Nebbiolo grapes, conveying great body and structure to this unique, inimitable, long-living wine.
