Barbaresco and Barolo are both the names of winegrowing regions, as well as titles for the wines made there. The Nebbiolo grape is the same, but the taste isn’t. Gentle and soft (Barbaresco) vs. complex and strong (Barolo).
Lovers of wine need to put Barbaresco high on their Italian bucket list. Especially when you already visited beautiful Barolo. Luckily Barbaresco is a short drive from Mango. Barbaresco is quite a sleepy town, but that is definitely part of the charm. The most well-known winemakers are Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Boffa and Produttori del Barbaresco. But before you enjoy their, you must head to the Torre di Barbaresco to watch a 360 degrees panoramic view over the Langhe.
Our favorite spot to drink lovely wine is Boffa. This winehouse with an amazing terrace specializes in Barbaresco wines with knowledgeable staff who can tell you more about this type of wine.
