In this video I compare and taste side by side two of the greatest Italian red wines – Barolo and Barbaresco! Although both are distinct appellations within the Piedmont region with unique terroirs, without having a glass of Barolo and Barbaresco side by side, it might be surprisingly easy to mix up these wines in a blind tasting.

excellent comparison. Thank you very much
Hello Agnes, nice to see that you came again ti our beatifull country and visited Langa in Piemonte. I did visit Barbaresco wine marker Marchesi di Gresy with their 50 vintages and i enjoyed their Red wines. Then thanks to y videos I came and visited Rivetto estate and i loved Barolo Briccolino and Barolo Serralunga 2019 . They are stuck ti my β€οΈ. Bat alzo sparkling Alta Langa Is a bubble you shall definitively try.π
What an educational videoπ lover it π·
I love your enthusiasm. If I've learned anything from you it's that I should enjoy my wines.
Barolo and Barbaresco are not only wines, they are pure love. can't say much more than this about two wines that talk so directly to my heart.
11:47 and you're confirming what I just said π₯°
I had a great trip to the Langhe in 2018… I guess it is time to return?
You are a joy to watch. I donβt even drink and love this channel
πππππ΄
Nice video. Thereβs a lot of information presented in a easy to understand format. Well done!
It seems, vintage '19 is too early for Barolo wines.
I'm going to drink Fontanafredda Barolo 2012 at the next OTBN on February 2024.
I guess it will be amazing.ππ·π·
How I love the wine from these regions.
Hi Agnes,complimenti and thanks for your video and for your passion…just like an Italian ;)π₯°
π I'd thought it was my fault for not telling them apart easily! Even in non-blind tasting, the wines are absolutely not too different. It is also true that terroir and producer have blurred the difference massively across the years. In fact, there's so much to discover within FEET of distance
Really nice video, so nice and well presented that I am heading down to my wine cellar now, just when I was giving myself a day off of wine lol. Watching you love your wines made me very thirsty so thank you and cheers π·π
Thank you! I have a few bottles of Produttori and also the Produttori Asili waiting to to be aged properly. I love these wines. Perhaps they are better than the Barolo's but for those I will wait longer.
Loved this episode! A Barolo is what got me into wine. It was the first time I tasted a wine I absolutely loved so it holds a special place in my heart.
I agree itβs very hard especially in a blind tasting. Very good info as always. Happy holidays Agnes!
Great wines. As I like powerful wines, Barolo is my cup of tea. I tried this Produttori del Barbaresco and I confess I had high expectation due to its reputation. But, unfortunately, I've got a little disappointed. Honestly, I've expected more.
Real wine is from the USA. The one from Italy is fake
