Nebbiolo's heartland — Barolo and its crus on the WineFortune index at a median of €216.67 per 75 cl
Piedmont is the north-western Italian region behind some of the world's most sought-after red wines, above all Barolo. WineFortune tracks 26 wines from 15 producers here; 13 of them carry a live index and 15 are listed in the shop, all within the sub-region of Barolo.
Every tracked wine is a still red made from Nebbiolo and carries the DOCG designation, Italy's top classification tier. The style runs from perfumed, tannic single-vineyard bottlings to long-aged riservas built for the cellar, shaped by the region's continental climate and calcareous marl soils.
The WineFortune index puts the regional median at €216.67 per 75 cl bottle, built from WineFortune's own trades and listings over 90 days. At the top sits Giacomo Conterno's Barolo Monfortino Riserva at a median of €1153.33, ahead of Aldo Conterno's Bussia Gran Bussia Riserva at €481.67 and G.B. Burlotto's Monvigliero at €446. Across 12 critic reviews the average score is 95.1 on the 100-point scale, with a top mark of 100 and a median drinking window of 2023 to 2035.
