Barolo

The king of wines.

One grape, eleven communes, a civil war fought with barrels. The Tortonian and Serravallian soils that split the zone in two, Renato Ratti's map, the 181 named vineyards and how to decode them, then the villages one by one and the traditionalists and modernists who still shape every bottle.
