THE COMPANY
Marchesi di Barolo is a winery with a centuries-old history of over 150 years and still represents a symbolic and reference brand in the gigantic world of Piedmontese winemaking. The winery is located in the municipality of Barolo, a tiny village of less than 700 inhabitants where the extraordinary Castle of the Marchesi stands. It is a centuries-old palace that symbolizes and is the genesis of Barolo.
In 1807, Marquis Carlo Tancredi Falletti married the French noblewoman Juliette Colbert Maulévrier, a descendant of the Sun King. Juliette was the first to realize the potential of Nebbiolo grown in these lands and noticed how the use of wooden barrels added depth and longevity to the wine. After her husband's death in the late 1800s, without heirs, the estate was first managed by his wife and then taken over by Pietro and Ernesto Abbona, two young men who worked in the cellars at the foot of the castle.
After five generations, the Marchesi di Barolo are still led by the Abbona family. The Marchesi di Barolo winery spans 200 hectares and has land not only in the Langhe but also in Roero and Monferrato. Marchesi di Barolo aims to create unique, high-quality wines that interpret the diversity of the places and are faithful readers of vintage, territory, and grapes.
