Marchesi di Barolo

Piedmont, Italy

Five oak casks belonging to the Marchesa Giulia Falletti Colbert during the early nineteenth century have been lovingly restored and are once again in use to age wines in Marchesi di Barolo’s cellars. Such heirlooms are doubly exciting since the Marchesa is credited with instigating the style of Barolo as we now know it and prompting its popularity across Europe’s noble classes. That’s a lot of history to pack into a glass – and a tour – so pay attention and soak up the atmosphere of this heritage estate along with a hearty plate of pasta. Even better, stay on for lunch at the restaurant and pair your Barolo with a traditional yet sleek taste of Piedmont.
