Why is Barolo so special? Why is it called “king of wines and wine of kings”? The answer is apparently simple: a question of terroir. Nebbiolo has found unique soil and climate conditions in the 11 municipalities of the Langhe where it is produced, just south of the city of Alba, so much so that it manages to rise above other Nebbiolo productions and has taken the name of one of these municipalities: Barolo, precisely. There are few wines that can boast such a deep adherence to their land, but the reason is also the fragility of the vine, whose bunches need a long maturation that continues until late November.
