While Barolo wines are rich and thick, Barbaresco wines are more elegant and aromatic, though still powerful. Also, while Barolo wines have been around for centuries, the Barbaresco heritage is only a few hundred years old. The Barbaresco area is much smaller than the Barolo area, only 1,200 acres being planted. Barbarescos are aged for a year in wood and is great from 5-10 years of age. Barbaresco should be served at 60F and pairs well with grilled meats.
