Casa E. Di Mirafiore, Barolo Riserva 2007

Founded in 1878 by Italy’s Royal Family, the Mirafiore winery is the estate that gave Barolo its nickname: “The King of Wines, the Wine of Kings.” It is named after Emanuele Alberto Guerrieri di Mirafiori, the son of King Vittorio Emanuele II, the first monarch to rule after Italy’s unification and the first to make wine on what would become the E. Mirafiore estate (“Casa di E. Mirafiore” is the official name of the winery).
