The English text from the neck label:
In the XIX century, the Marchesi Falletti created and made the Barolo wine well known. Its fame became greater and greater all over the world. The Barolo wine is produce in a limited area of the Langhe Hills (Piedmont) the main centres of which are Barolo, Castiglione Faletto, La Morra, Monforte, Verduno, Perno, Serralunga nd Grinzane. The Barolo wine is made with the grapes of the Nebbiolo vine and it is bottled after three years' storage in barrels. During this period it acquires a granate-red [sic] colour with yellow-amaranth reflections and emanates a perfume similar to the violet on the surface and the withered rose at the bottom, with a dry velvety taste. It is to be served at the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere, from bottles opened a few hours before as only in this way it can thoroughly reveal its characteristics and good qualities; it is the ideal wine for roast meats, game and such like.
