Ghisolfi Barolo Bricco Visette 2014

Barolo has ancient origins. Documents testify to the growing of Nebbiolo in the Visette area as long ago as the XII century, when the Saracen invasions advanced inland into Piedmont from the Ligurian coast. These influences led to the old centre of the village of Monforte being named “Saracca”. The name Visette itself comes from the local dialect word for the vine, “vis”. Made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Visette (Bussia) area of Monforte d’Alba.
