Description

BAROLO - Cuneo - Piedmont - ITALY Renowned for some of Italy's best red wines, Barolo zone and its hills, and for its outstanding gastronomy, this small area is about 70 km. or 30 miles in hills south of Turin in the Piedmont region. Today, Barolo is a wine town in the strictest sense: the scent of wine can be sensed at every street corner. Nor is Barolo wine like other wines, for it has transformed its town into a kind of "sacred place," which the pagan wine cult's adepts must honour, from time to time, "in pilgrimage."In Barolo and in its zone there are also two castles..Barolo has not one castle but two, the Castello Falletti (the communal castle) and the Castello della Volta. The first is located in the city centre, the second, a few hundred metres away as the crow flies, on the ridge that runs from Novello to La Morra, by way of Vergne. The two castles, in fact, face each other, and both belonged to the Falletti family. The position of the Castello alla Volta gave it the more strategic importance.

How beautiful. Being from wine country in California I thought all vineyards were similar but this view is much different and so lovely. Clean shot.
