Barbera d'Alba DOC 'Peiragal' 2021 (750 ml.) Marchesi di Barolo
Barbera d'Alba DOC Peiragal 2021 is produced by Marchesi di Barolo from Barbera grapes grown on the hills of the Langhe, on well-exposed slopes with compact calcareous-clay soils rich in stones. This terroir limits water absorption and promotes deep root development. The 2021 vintage resulted in a wine of remarkable balance. Vinification includes traditional fermentation and aging for over nine months, partly in small French oak barrels and partly in traditional large casks, followed by blending in a single tank. On the nose, it reveals intense sensory characteristics of ripe red fruit, spices, toasted notes and balsamic nuances. On the palate, it is well-structured, with moderate acidity, well-integrated alcohol, sweet tannins and a harmonious finish.

Marchesi di Barolo
In the heart of the picturesque hilly landscape of the Langhe, where the morning fog envelops the rows in a silent embrace, stands the prestigious winery Marchesi di Barolo. With roots dating back to 1807, this historic winery is a pillar of the Piedmontese wine tradition, a silent witness to the transformation of Barolo into one of the most celebrated wines in the world.
Located in the namesake village of Barolo, Marchesi di Barolo skillfully cultivates the Nebbiolo grape, the beating heart of its most iconic labels. Here, the land intertwines with history, giving life to wines that are the result of a perfect balance between tradition and innovation. The winery has managed to combine ancient wisdom with modern winemaking techniques, maintaining a deep respect for the land and its peculiarities.

Sarmassa, on the other hand, surprises with its bold structure and intense aromas, a dance of scents that evokes the richness of the land from which it comes.

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 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 gives rise to 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, lacking 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 vineyards not only in the Langhe but also in Roero and Monferrato. Marchesi di Barolo aims to create unique and high-quality wines that interpret the diversity of the places and are faithful representatives of vintage, territory, and grapes.
