Barolo is the name of both a wine and a village. Barolo is just one of the many small villages within the Langhe region of Piemonte, just a few kilometers south-west of Alba, south of Torino, where the wine can be produced.
Barolo wine as we know it today, a luscious, complex, age-worthy wine, began to be produced about halfway through the 19th century.
Barolo Today
Today, Barolo is produced in 11 villages in the Langhe area of Piemonte, with the prominent ones being Barolo, La Morra, Castiglione Falletto, Monforte, and Serralunga. Imagine the villages like a mosaic of vineyards, tightly packed yet ebbing and flowing along sharp curves and steep slopes.
Barolo became one of the first DOCG wines in the 1980s. These are wines within the Italian wine classification system that are considered of exceptional quality and held to the most rigorous production standards
