Burlotto, an esteemed estate founded in 1850. The winery carries a remarkable heritage, having historically served as suppliers to the Royal House. Furthermore, they were the sole purveyors for the Duke of the Abruzzi's expedition to the North Pole in 1899 aboard the Stella Polare. The wine holds the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) classification, representing the highest tier of Italian wine standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from Barolo, a highly prestigious area located in the Langhe hills southwest of Alba. This area is a cornerstone of the Piedmont region in northwestern Italy, a name that literally translates to \"at the foot of the mountain.\" Surrounded by the Alps, Piedmont is celebrated for its small, passionate, family-run wineries and a profound focus on how soil and microclimate influence the wine. The dramatic, steep hills of the Langhe are often enveloped in thick autumn morning fog, which protects the grapes and ensures a long, perfect ripening period. The 1999 harvest is recognized as a great vintage with complexity and depth, earning a score of 95 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis classic red wine is crafted exclusively from Nebbiolo, an Italian top grape renowned for producing elegant wines with great structure. Nebbiolo is deeply tied to the Barolo area and is the foundation for the region's most famous and complex wines. The grape thrives in the specific conditions of Piedmont, an area that is also a mecca for gastronomy, famous for its exclusive white truffles from Alba, hazelnuts, and rich local dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comm G B Burlotto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57447707640134,"sku":null,"price":420.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1398_e3194400-0a6b-4a77-a24a-e76d6a157f5e.jpg?v=1790243956","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/barolo-comm-g-b-burlotto-1999","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
