About Marchesi di Barolo

Over 200 years ago, the Marquises of Falletti, former owners of the winery in the historic castle, created the "Wine of Kings": Barolo. One of the figures historically linked to the Barolo name 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 throughout the world. The wines from the Marchesi di Barolo estate still live up to their great name today. They are incredibly powerful, long-lived, and for good reason, internationally acclaimed many times over.

The Region

Northwestern Italy's 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 distinctively full-bodied, multi-faceted aromas that can be attributed 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 multi-layered bouquet to lime-rich sandy soils that favor a powerful structure in the wine.
