Made from the Nebbiolo grape, On the nose, you will experience the equivalent of a bouquet of wild violets and roses. The taste can be sublime as almond, wild mushrooms and with age even chocolate.
The Barolo wine production centers are around the town of Alba in southern Piedmont.
There are three areas in the east around the villages of Barolo:
Le Morra where soils produce slightly lighter and more ripening and more openly fragrant wines of greater perfume.
The villages of Serralunga and Monforte where the poorer Helveetian soils are much less fertile, with more sandstone which results in a fuller, more tannic and longer lasting wine.
The wine in the village of Castiglione Falletto tastes like something between the two other areas.
There are also different (Cru) for example in Barolo and la Morra: some of the great vineyards are Brunate, Cerenquio, le Rocche in la Morra, le Serra in la Morra and the most famous Cannubi near the town of Barolo.

Paolo
Secondo, the
owner of Barolo Restaurant, started his business in his
native city, Genoa, Italy.
In 1980, he bought a local old wine bar and restaurant and
renamed it I Tre Merli.
Buoyed by the success of his first establishment, he decided
to export the concept to the United States.
After I Tre Merli in New York, Secondo opened Barolo and
several other restaurants.
There are now three I Tre Merli restaurants in Genoa, as
well as the I Tre Merli Locanda in Camogli.
Secondo's latest venture has been in New York City's Meatpacking
District: Revel, a massive indoor-outdoor space with a Bar/Restaurant.
