  • Bottles produced: 1.500.000
  • Hectares: 105
The Marchesi di Barolo winery was founded in 1806 in the heart of the Langhe, following the marriage between Carlo Tancredi Falletti and the French aristocrat Juliette Colbert di Maulévrier, who understood the importance of nebbiolo grapes, the production of which gave rise to intense, decisive wines that would improve with time. Xtrawine devotes special attention to Marchesi di Barolo wines, proposing bottles that have received important awards from Bibenda and belonging to the best vintages of 2012, 2013 and 2016. At the end of the 19th century, the Marchesi di Barolo winery was acquired by Pietro Abbona, and is now run by his nephew Ernesto Abbona, who can count on a vineyard estate of 65 hectares from which come high-quality wines that add to the winery's fame. Thanks to the climatic conditions and the fertility of the land, aromatic, pure and simple grapes are cultivated, which are processed in the cellar to the best of their ability thanks to proven experience in the field.

Soil composition Predominantly calcareous clay soil, alternating with layers of whitish marl.
Cultivation system Guyot
Harvest The grapes, freshly harvested, arrive in the cellar intact and are quickly crushed and delicately destemmed to extract only the noblest and most aromatic fractions from the skin and the outermost part of the berry.
Wine making Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks. Maceration on the skins lasts about 8 days, with frequent pumping over at intervals to allow the must to take possession of all the trace elements present and to delicately extract the colouring material. Racking takes place when the product is almost completely dry.
Aging Traditional Slavonian oak barrels contribute to the wine's harmony and increase the finesse of the bouquet. The sweet sensation is mainly due to the moderate acidity and delicate tannins. Barbera d'Alba reaches maturity 2 years after the harvest and the maturation plateau is between 2 and 6 years.
