Description
The grapes come from vineyards with an eastern and south-eastern location, on hills with a steep slope. The soil is mainly composed of clay and limestone with lots of quartz sand, which gives the wine a good structure, many mineral nutrients, a vigorous but balanced personality and a remarkable bouquet. The grapes, picked by hand, reach the cellar entirely intact, where they are destemmed and softly pressed and put in temperature-controlled tanks to ferment. Once fined in small oak barrels for at least 18 months, the wine is then blended in traditional large Slavonian oak barrels.

Marchesi di Barolo
[su_expand]Marchesi di Barolo's historical cellars are located in the town of Barolo, in the building overlooking the Castle of the Marquis Falletti. It is here that more than 200 years ago a beautiful story began. The story of a wine cellar where, in the heart of the Langhe area and protected by gentle hills, a wine was born. That wine was then called Barolo, in honour of the town where it was produced for the first time. In 1929 the Abbona family who had their own wine cellars next to the Castle of Marquis Falletti decided to acquire Agenzia Tenuta Opera Pia Barolo. Pietro Abbona, his brother Ernesto and sisters Marina and Celestina took charge of the ancient cellars of Marchesi di Barolo with the dual intent of preserving its illustrious legacy and to proliferate it across all possible shores of the world. Today the family manages about 270 acres of vineyards in the Langhe region of Piedmont (Piemonte). Marchesi Di Barolo owns 110 acres of which 60 acres are in the commune of Barolo. The family produces wines made from Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Grignolino, Freisa, Braquetto d’aqui, Arneis, Cortese, and Moscato. [/su_expand]
