Wine & Movie Night: Barolo Boys

 Join the Friends of Italy Society of Hawaiʻi for another special Wine & Movie Night, featuring Barolo Boys: The Story of a Revolution (2014).

This acclaimed documentary explores the dramatic transformation of Barolo wine in Piedmont, Italy, focusing on the “modernist” movement of the 1980s and 1990s. Through the stories of visionary winemakers and importers, the film captures a pivotal moment in Italian wine history — when innovation, tradition, and controversy collided in one of Italy’s most celebrated wine regions.

Barolo Boys: The Story of a Revolution tells the story of the producers who helped reshape Barolo by introducing new approaches such as shorter maceration and the use of smaller French oak barrels (barriques).
