Lorenzo Accomasso started making wine in the early 1950s and he is now made close to 70 vintages. When interviewed for the 2016 short film “Barolism”, Accomasso said: “I dedicated my life to this. If I were born again ten more times I would still do it.” Accomasso sells his Barolos only when he feels they are ready, and thinks nothing of leaving them for a decade in cask before bottling them. He hasn’t exported to the US since the 1980s, and he prefers to sell his wine a few bottles at a time from his cellar door.
