- 11x17 Map of Barolo
The
approach of single-vineyard designations is now an
ingrained practice for Barolo much as it is for the
great wines of Burgundy. Due to the varied soil types
and exposures across vineyards there is a lot to discover.
The map included with this six-pack lists some of
the highly regarded vineyards in the Barolo zone by
soil type and is further broken down by the "general"
characteristics of each commune. This generalization
needs to be used cautiously, as it is important to
note that all variables are not constant and generalizations
can oversimplify a complex subject. Individual site
altitude and exposure, viticulture and vinification
technique, clonal variation, producer style, and vintage
conditions can change these characterisitics. Use
the map and sampler as guidelines.
