(6590) Barolo is an asteroid of the main belt , which on 15 October 1985 by the US American astronomer Edward LG Bowell at the Anderson Mesa Station ( IAU code 688) of the Lowell Observatory in Coconino County in Arizona was discovered.
The asteroid was named after the municipality of Barolo in the northern Italian region of Piedmont , where the famous Ror wine of the same name is grown.
The celestial body belongs to the Eos family, a group of asteroids, which typically have large semi-axes from 2.95 to 3.1 AU , bounded inward by the Kirkwood gap of the 7: 3 resonance with Jupiter , and orbital inclinations between 8 ° and 12 °. The group is named after the asteroid (221) Eos . The family is believed to have emerged from a collision more than a billion years ago.
