The Barolo 'del Comune di Barolo' by Marchesi di Barolo is made from grapes that come exclusively from vineyards owned in the homonymous Municipality on hills with good slopes.

The desire is to achieve a blend that realizes the harmonious synthesis of the vintage's characteristics. It matures for at least 18 months in oak barrels of varying capacities. Intense and persistent aroma with a distinct scent of spices, cinnamon, wormwood, tobacco, and wild rose. The taste is full and elegant, with soft and enveloping tannins. The spiciness and the woodiness blend perfectly.

THE WINE
The Barolo 'from the Municipality of Barolo' by Marchesi di Barolo is made from grapes that come exclusively from estate vineyards in the namesake Municipality on hilly terrain. The Nebbiolo extracts from the compact clay and limestone soils an abundance of mineral salts and trace elements that enrich its structure, while the loose sandy and silt soils yield fragrant and spicy aromas. The aim is to achieve a blend that realizes the harmonious synthesis of the vintage's characteristics. It matures for at least 18 months in oak barrels of varying capacities. Intense and persistent aroma with clear notes of spices, cinnamon, absinthe, tobacco, and wild rose. The taste is full and elegant, with soft and enveloping tannins. The spiciness and the oak integrate perfectly.
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 vast world of Piedmontese wine. 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. This is a centuries-old palace that is the symbol and 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 owns 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 representations of the vintage, territory, and grapes.
