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.

Wine making	The freshly harvested grapes arrive at the winery intact. They are quickly crushed and gently destemmed to extract only the noblest and most aromatic fractions from the skin and the outermost area of the berry. Fermentation, at a controlled temperature, takes place in thermo-conditioned tanks. Maceration lasts 10 days, during which periodic pumping-over takes place so that the must can gather all elements present in the skins and gently extract the colour. Racking occurs only when all the sugar has been transformed into alcohol. Racked into specially made vitrified cement vats with cork insulation, the wine maintains a post-fermentation temperature of about 22°C for a long time. In this way, malolactic fermentation starts and ends spontaneously over the next two months.
Aging	Initially, the wine is aged for two years, partly in 30- and 36-hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels and partly in small, lightly toasted 225-litre French oak barrels. The vineyard regains its unity with blending in traditional large oak barrels and completes its ageing in the bottle before being put on the market. Barolo Coste di Rose reaches maturity 4 years after the harvest, and the ageing period is between 4 and 20 years.
