The Historic Marchesi di Barolo Estate

Marchesi di Barolo is a prestigious Italian winery located in the picturesque Langhe region of Piedmont, renowned for its exceptional wine production and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The estate's legacy began in the early 19th century when Marchesa Giulia and her husband Carlo Tancredi crafted the first Barolo wines from Nebbiolo grapes. In 1929, local winemaker Pietro Abbona acquired the estate, transforming it into a sophisticated winery that catered to the elite, serving wines at significant diplomatic and royal events. Today, the winery is still family-owned, led by Ernesto Abbona and his wife Anna, representing the fifth generation of winemakers.

A Rich Collection of Barolo Wines

The unique terroir of the Langhe hills, formed from ancient sea beds, contributes to the distinct characteristics of Barolo wines. The region features Serravallian and Tortonian soils, which produce robust, full-bodied wines with elegant aromas. The winery's location, surrounded by protective hills, ensures optimal growing conditions for Nebbiolo grapes, resulting in wines that are sweet, tannic, and vibrant. Marchesi di Barolo boasts ancient cellars housing a remarkable collection of over 30,000 bottles of Barolo, including rare vintages from the 19th century to contemporary selections.

Wines That Celebrate Tradition and Quality

For over a century, the Abbona family has upheld a commitment to quality winemaking, blending tradition with modern techniques. They manage over 200 hectares of vineyards across Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato, employing sustainable agricultural practices. The estate's former animal shelter and warehouse now hosts the Vineria, a restaurant, and wine shop, inviting visitors to experience the rich history and culture of Barolo wines.

I really enjoyed the wine tasting with the tour of their cellar. Elisa was very knowledgeable and polite. They were also very accommodating as I booked for 12.30, but I turned up much earlier, yet they let me join another group without a problem. The only unsual thing is that the water during the wine tasting is not included in the price, you have to pay separately and this is the first time it happened to me. Not a big deal though. Absolutely recommend a visit!

My husband and I visited Marchesi di Barolo in October 2024 and we were not disappointed. The tour was fascinating and filled with the history of the origins and distinction of Barolo wine. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and delightful. She was attentive during the tasting and helped us select and ship a number of bottles of wine back to the U.S. for our future enjoyment. This is a must-visit if you are visiting Barolo, and we do highly recommend a visit to this delightful village.

We had a great wine tasting tour at this urban winery. We had a large group and we were taken care of very well. They have a nice gift shop inside and we were buying things even before our tour. Lol. The tour started at the front entrance. We were given a brief history on the family. Then we go down to their cellar where the big wine barrels are. They are massive and beautiful. The tour continued down there and their winemaking process and their rich history was shared. Tour ended back upstairs in their tasting room. We tried 4 of their wines. Our group had a great time, loved their Riserva, and shipped some wines back home.
