Terre del Barolo

"Barolo is made from the Nebbiolo grape grown in eleven villages of the Langhe hills around Alba. Ageing in oak casks enhances its outstanding qualities, making it quite unique in its fantastically rounded body, in the delicacy of the feelings it is capable of arousing, and in its unfailing class and elegance.

As Matteo Bosco notes with the precision worthy ofthe professor of mathematics that he is:
“It proved to be very hard-going at first, with the opposition of some vintners and brokers who were afraid of losing their monopoly of the market. But with the first harvest due, the 22 founder members had already become 362: many had come to see the co-operative as the only chance they had of continuing to work their vineyards“.
