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 Barolo Tradizione come from vineyards located on the most suitable hills of the Denomination (Verduno, La Morra, Barolo, Grinzane Cavour), characterized by calcareous-clayey soils and partly covered by quartz sand. 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 ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose is broad and ethereal, with floral notes of wild rose and a fruity hint of wild strawberry. On the palate it is full and enveloping, with soft tannins and still pleasant acidity.

Food Pairing

It is the ideal companion for egg pasta, tajarin and ravioli with sauces such as game ragout and truffles. For meats, it goes well with red meats, roasted or braised, game and venison. Lastly, it pairs magnificently with sheep's and goat's cheeses or mature hard cheeses.

Concentrated aromas of black cherry, red plum, star anise, licorice and cola spill out of the glass as the wine opens. Juicy and ripe fruits leap across the palate with concentrated cherries in fresh and preserved forms mixed with sweet and savory spices with a hint of dried rosebud, finishing with crisp acidity.
