GIACOSA FRATELLI BAROLO DOCG
Barolo is the most illustrious and austere son of the great vine species: Nebbiolo. Cultivating the Nebbiolo vine species in hilly regions was mentioned even back in 1512 in the "Loci Murre" statutes. It can be a rather unpredictable vine species, which only expresses its best in more congenial environments. Nebbiolo only becomes Barolo after maturing in wooden casks for two years and one year in the bottle.
