The soil of Barbaresco and Barolo Both wines are light in colour and smell delicate. They are complex and have a long finish, but in the mid-palate, you can taste the difference: a Barolo wine will taste fuller while a Barbaresco wine is much brighter. The soils of Barolo and Barbaresco are both rich in lime and clay.

Barbaresco is a dry red wine made from the Nebbiolo grape in the Barbaresco region of Piedmont in northwestern Italy, at the foothills of the alps.

On the nose, Barbaresco offers aromas of roses and violets, with flavor notes of cherry, truffles, fennel and licorice. When the wine has been aged for quite some time, it can develop smoky notes and more earthy flavors.

The climate is continental, as it is in the rest of the Langa and Roero. There is an average of 800-900 millimetres of rainfall a year, mainly concentrated during autumn, summer and spring. And there is relatively little wind: at the most, a faint breeze bringing relief in summer, protecting the vines from the heat.
