Overlooking the undulating landscape cultivated with Nebbiolo grapes, the castle of Barolo originated around 1000. The name of the town has roots in the Celtic term "bas reul", adopted for its position at a modest altitude compared to the neighboring towns. In 1250, the domain passed into the hands of the Fallettis, who held possession until 1864, a period in which Giulia introduced winemaking at the base of Barolo, according to the technique still used today. Currently, the castle houses the Enoteca Regionale del Barolo, a temple of taste where the cream of local wines is carefully selected, the renowned Barolo DOCG stands out among all.
