Default Types of Barolo?

As to producers, "annata" appears much more frequently than
"normale". As to importers, their mother language normally would
not be Italian.

Anyhow, even the Italians' knowledge of Italian is not always
perfect. You quite frequently hear the plurals "Baroli" or
"Brunelli" in Italy, which is simply wrong, because as proper
nouns/names they don't take a plural flexion.
