About Marchesi di Barolo

Over 200 years ago, the Marquesses Falletti, former owners of the winery in the historic castle, created the "Wine of Kings": Barolo. One of the personalities who has been associated with the name Barolo since that time is also a pioneer: Pietro Emilio Abbona, an ancestor of the current owner family, made the wine of his region—and with it, the Cantina Marchesi di Barolo—famous all over the world. The wines from the Marchesi di Barolo house still do justice to their great name today. They are incredibly powerful, long-lived—and for good reason, repeatedly awarded internationally.

The Region

The northwestern Italian region of Piedmont ("at the foot of the mountains") lies at the southern foothills of the Alps. The climatic conditions are demanding: except for the area around the Po Valley, it is significantly cooler here than in the rest of Italy. Short, dry summers are followed by foggy autumns and very cold winters. It is a challenge that Piedmontese winemakers successfully meet: alongside Tuscany, Piedmont produces the most top-tier wines in Italy, with unmistakable, full-bodied, multi-faceted aromas attributable to these specific climatic conditions. The red Barbera grape variety dominates, followed by Dolcetto and Nebbiolo, from which the famous Barolo is pressed. The vines thrive between 150 and 400 m above sea level on various soils—from clay-based for a complex bouquet to lime-rich sandy soils that favor a powerful structure in the wine.
