The hills of the surrounding area have long been famous for producing fragrant, tannic red wines which take its name. These are made entirely from the Nebbiolo grape variety. Barolo wine is so revered that it was one of just three wines awarded DOCG status on the day that the classification was introduced in July 1980.
