Barolo is a red denominazione di origine controllata e garantita (DOCG) wine produced in the northern Italian region of Piedmont. It is made from the nebbiolo grape and is often described as one of Italy's greatest wines.
Barolo, like most nebbiolo-based wines, is known for its light color and lack of opacity.
In addition to being a prominent figure in the Risorgimento, Count Cavour played a significant role in the development of modern-day Barolo
The use of small French oak barrique barrels is a winemaking technique associated with "modernist" Barolo producers
