About
the Book:
The goal of this book is to describe the wines, the
territory, and the men and women who labour to produce
the great Barolo and Barbaresco wines. Municipality by
municipality and hillslope by hillslope, the book explores
the unique features that have enabled these two to rank
among the world's most exclusive and highly prized wines.
Special care has been devoted to the illustrations, which
include breathtaking aerial photographs and reproductions
of labels from leading producers in both zones.
The many Eye-witness Reports give us a privileged insight
into social life and rural techniques in the words of the
area's older residents. Finally the chapters on The Greats
of Barolo and Barbaresco are the fruit of research into the
lives of the founders of winemaking in the Langhe, including
growers, scholars, oenologists, cellar-men and aristocratic
entrepreneurs, beginning with Camillo Benso, Conte di Cavour,
and Marchesa Giulia Falletti of Barolo.
