THE BIRTH OF BARBARESCO AND BAROLO
The physiognomy of the two great Nebbiolo-based wines began to take shape.
The foundations were laid for the canonisation of Barolo and Barbaresco, which would lead them to win increasing acclaim and establish themselves on the international scene in the decades that followed.
In the old town centre, our ancestors Vincenzo and Rosa produced the first bottles of what is now Barbaresco, as we know it today.
