Marchesi di Barolo is widely considered the historical cradle of modern Barolo. In the early 1800s, the Falletti family—specifically Marquise Giulia Falletti Colbert and her husband Carlo Tancredi Falletti—transformed the local wine production, establishing the dry red wine style known today. The Barolo appellation itself is named after the former owners of this estate. Following the end of the Falletti dynasty in 1864, the estates were transferred to the Opera Pia Barolo charity, a heritage proudly referenced on the bottle's label alongside the crest motto \"Ex Vite Vita\" and historical accolades such as the Grand Prix in Vienna in 1873 and Turin in 1884.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1929, the Abbona family purchased the historic wine cellar, and the estate has remained in their care ever since, currently managed by the fifth and sixth generations. The winery oversees 110 hectares, including 45 hectares of their own vineyards, featuring prestigious parcels such as Cannubi, Sarmassa, and Coste di Rose. A remarkable historical link is maintained in the cellar, where five of Marchesa Giulia's original oak barrels from the 1800s are still in use today. As noted on the label, this wine was produced and bottled in its zone of origin by the estate's cellars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from the Barolo appellation, located in the Langhe hills southwest of Alba. This area is part of the Piedmont region in northwestern Italy, a prestigious wine-producing territory situated at the foot of the Alps. The dramatic, steep hills of the Langhe are often enveloped in thick autumn morning fog, which protects the Nebbiolo grapes and ensures a long, perfect ripening period. The 1967 vintage in this region achieved a score of 86 points and is described as mature and open. Piedmont is renowned for its strong focus on terroir and its deep gastronomic traditions, particularly its association with Alba white truffles and local hazelnuts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marchesi di Barolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57498674725190,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1481_e5b77fbe-8e64-4580-99a7-66f759877303.jpg?v=1790844061","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/barolo-marchesi-di-barolo-1972","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
