Barolo is a charming village located in the Italian region of Piedmont, it is inhabited permanently by only a few hundred people. It is famous mainly for the red wine produced from the nebbiolo vine that grows on the surrounding hills. The production of sour liquor in these lands was initiated, among others, by the politician Camillo Cavour, who employed an ethnologist Louis Oudart, and the marquess Giulia Falletti di Barolo, whose property was surrounded by vast vineyards. The most important attraction of the small town of Barolo is the medieval castle and the Wine Museum opened in 2010.
