In the Piedmont region, the Barolo DOCG is distinguished from neighboring Nebbiolo-based denominations by its exceptionally long maturation criteria: a minimum of 38 months of ageing, with at least 18 months spent in wood, starting from November 1st of the harvest year. Across 11 permitted municipalities, including Castiglione Falletto and La Morra, 547 verified producers cultivate the mandatory 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Adhering to a maximum yield of 8.0 tonnes per hectare, they produce a garnet-red wine with a minimum alcohol content of 13.0% volume, noted for its intense, characteristic aroma and dry, full, and harmonious flavor.
