Often confused, these three world famous wines are produced in Italy.
Barolo and Barbaresco come from the same family of grapes, and in neighboring villages. Both are Italy DOCGs, produced using 100% Nebbiolo grapes, from designated areas of Piedmont, Italy. Barolo is produced in 11 communes. The 5 most popular are Barolo, Serralunga d'Alba, Monforte d'Alba, La Morra and Castiglione Falleto. Barbaresco is made from Nebbiolo grown on hillsides surrounding communes of Barbaresco, Neive and Treiso and a hilly area surrounding the hamlet of San Rocco Seno d'Elvio in Alba.
Brunello, on the other hand, is produced from 100% Sangiovese grown in the designated hills around the Tuscan village of Montalcino.
This article by Vinepair gives a high level overview and a very useful description of the two wines. One thing they all have in common is their ability to age well:
We have exclusive guided wine tours in Piedmont and Tuscany, or can plan a private tour for you based on your wine preferences and interest. We will taste a number of wines from the region, and pair it with local traditional cuisine, and also visit some fine dining establishments we have carefully selected.
Check out our GastroNomad Piedmont and Tuscany exclusive tours for small groups. We have other activities as well, such as hot air balloon and helicopter rides over vineyards, cooking courses from a local, truffle hunts and visits to historical sites. We would love to share our deep passion for Italy's wine regions
