About

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.

Terroir

The grapes intended for the production of Barbaresco Tradizione come from vineyards located on the most suitable hills of the Denomination (Neive, Barbaresco, Treiso), characterized by soilsin which clay and limestone prevail with a silty presence. These areas are able to ensure considerable structure and a broad bouquet.

Vinification

The grapes are rigorously harvested by hand and a selection of the best bunches is made already in the vineyard. Once it arrives in the cellar, it is destemmed and pressed and then delicately conveyed into the stainless steel tanks. Here the alcoholic fermentation begins at a controlled temperature. At the same time, maceration on the skins takes place, where all the noble components of the grape – colour, aromas and tannins – are extracted. Maceration lasts approximately 15 days during which the operations of pumping the must over the pomace cap favor this extraction

Tasting Notes

The color is bright ruby red with delicate garnet reflections. On the nose it is fresh and floral with balsamic hints of violet, dried rose petals, peppermint and currants. On the palate it's structured and persistent, with enveloping tannins and a pleasant undergrowth aftertaste.

Food Pairing

It is an ideal companion for tasty first courses, pasta with ragout, agnolotti, red meats, roasts and stews, and medium-aged hard cheeses.

This shows aromas of spiced cherries, dried orange peel, cardamom and bark. Medium-bodied with round, velvety tannins that have chalky texture. Dry and zesty at the end. Attractive now, but better in a year or two
