It is considered
the best among the superior red wines of Italy. It is made with the
"Nebbiolo" grapes, grown since the 15th century.
Because of the compliments that Kings and Popes paid to it in the
course of history, Barolo acquired the fame of being "the King
of wines and the wine of Kings". |

The
new wine is called Nebbiolo. Only that derived from grapes from
established vineyeards and approved by special commissions of
experts, after three years of ageing in casks, assumes the name
of Barolo.
Cuts with or additions of different grapes or must are not allowed.
- After
five years from the harvest the wine may be labeled "Riserva".
After rigid analytical and organoleptic examinations it may receive
the special State seal, defining ist as D.O.C.G.
The Barolo is the ideal complement for red meats, either roasted,
grilled or rotisseried, and for game. It is one of the few wines
that is not challanged by lamb meat, the most flavorful mushrooms,
mature cheese or chocolate.
Moreover, it is a superb wine for conversation and meditation,
given the proper company. Serve it well "chambrè",
that is at room temperature.
You may decant it, if you cannot wait that it develops his superb
bouquet spontaneously.
