Barolo, Wine commune in Province of Cuneo, Italy
Located 50 kilometers southeast of Turin, Barolo sits at 301 meters elevation among rolling hills covered with nebbiolo grape vineyards.
The transformation of Barolo from sweet to dry wine occurred in the mid-19th century when French enologist Louis Oudart introduced modern winemaking techniques.
The territory belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage list, recognizing the deep connection between traditional winemaking methods and land cultivation patterns.
Visitors can explore numerous wineries along designated wine routes, with guided tours available from April through November in multiple languages.
The soil composition alternates between Helvetian sandstone and Tortonian calcareous marl, creating distinct flavor profiles in wines from different slopes.
