Description

Marchesi di Barolo (which used to be known as Opera Pia Barolo) is one of the region's most historic wineries. Marchesi Falletti was a former proprietor of the estate in the early 1800s and is widely considered to be the creator of what is now known as Barolo. The estate has gradually grown over the course of time, and today the vineyards include some of the most highly-prized terroirs within the Barolo winegrowing area. The wines made here were and continue to be Nebbiolos of great breeding and complexity.

Barolo is known as the 'king of wines' and is made from the Nebbiolo grape. On the nose you should expect heady aromas of rose, leather, vanilla, cherry, pepper, cranberry, strawberry and truffle. Its fruit concentration is perfectly knitted with its high tannins and acidity. It's a powerful wine but remarkably subtle. Don't underestimate it and certainly serve it with food to show at it's best. Nebbiolo has naturally high tannins and acidity, so it will take on full-flavoured, rich foods such as hearty stews, game, steak and truffle risotto.
