"The king of wines, yet possessing the elegance of a queen..."
This great Italian red wine, praised with such accolades, is Barolo.
This is a name that any wine lover has likely heard of at least once.
In fact, behind its charm lies the power of the rich land and the philosophy of the meticulous winemakers.
What is Barolo? – A Masterpiece of Nebbiolo
Barolo is a high-quality red wine produced in a limited region of the Piedmont area in northern Italy.
The grape used is 100% "Nebbiolo." The name of this variety comes from the Italian word "nebbia," meaning autumn fog, which reflects the foggy conditions often seen in the region.
True to its name, Nebbiolo is a late-ripening grape that thrives in the foggy, hilly regions where it is grown.
With its deep ruby color, dry and structured tannins, and aromas of roses and tar that emerge with aging...
Barolo is truly a wine that "reaches its full potential only with time."
The Story of the King and Queen
The name became known worldwide in the 19th century when members of the Savoy Kingdom's royal family visited the region.
It was praised by wine connoisseurs and came to be known as the "wine of kings."
On the other hand, due to its elegance and refined aroma, it is also called the "queen of wines," and...
It is cherished as a special wine even within Italy.
