Barolo
The town that gives its name to the DOCG, Barolo is a beautiful town with an historic castle now home to a major food and wine festival. Spanning some 343 hectares with 30 MGAs (some of which are shared with La Morra), Barolo could be considered the centre of the region, and certainly historically speaking due to the fame and recognition associated with the Cannubi Cru.
The soils in this commune are primarily comprised of Sant Agathe marl with some clay and sand, which allows excellent drainage. The style of this commune tends to be a little fleshier with supple tannins combining perfume and vibrant fruit. These are often accessible at a young age but without doubt can age wonderfully.
