Meaning and background
The story behind Barolo
Barolo links a place in Italy’s Langhe with a wine made from Nebbiolo grapes. The region’s producer consortium explains that the wine took its name from the town and castle of Barolo; its production area lies south of Alba. For a dog owner, that can be a travel memory or a reference to an interest in Italian wine. It is useful to distinguish this geographical association from the personal name Bartolo. A surname page describing Bartolo alone cannot establish the origin of Barolo.
