The Marchesi di Barolo estate encompasses approximately 430 acres of vineyards in the Langhe, some of the finest in Piedmont, including the prestigious Cannubi cru. The cellars are located in the village of Barolo, overlooking the Renaissance castle of the Marchesi Falletti di Barolo.
Barolo as we know it today was first made in the early 19th century by the Marchese Carlo Tancredi Falletti di Barolo and his wife, Giulia. The wine from their estate soon became known as "the wine from Barolo", served at important diplomatic and royal functions.
Garnet-red in color with ruby shades. An intense perfume with clean scents of spices, vanilla, roasted hazelnuts, licorices, cacao and wild rose. A full, elegant flavor, austere and good-bodied, with recurring olfactory sensations. The hints of spices and of wood blend perfectly. Thanks to its big structure, this wine pairs exceptionally well with main courses of red meats, braised dishes and game in general. An ideal accompaniment for cheeses.
Critical Acclaim
92 James Suckling
Transparent and perfumed with cherry, ripe-strawberry and floral character. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a beautiful, bright finish. Hints of hazelnuts at the end.
90 Wine Enthusiast
Camphor, underbrush and a whiff of blue flower lead the way. On the medium-bodied palate, close-grained tannins accompany sour cherry and pomegranate before a tight, rather austere finish.
