The goal of this book is to describe the wines, the territory, and the men and women who labour to produce the great Barolo and Barbaresco wines. Municipality by municipality and hillslope by hillslope, the book explores the unique features that have enabled these two to rank among the world's most exclusive and highly prized wines. Special care has been devoted to the illustrations, which include breathtaking aerial photographs and reproductions of labels from leading producers in both zones.

The many Eye-witness Reports give us a privileged insight into social life and rural techniques in the words of the area's older residents. Finally the chapters on The Greats of Barolo and Barbaresco are the fruit of research into the lives of the founders of winemaking in the Langhe, including growers, scholars, oenologists, cellar-men and aristocratic entrepreneurs, beginning with Camillo Benso, Conte di Cavour, and Marchesa Giulia Falletti of Barolo.
