Marchesi di Barolo is a historic producer in Barolo, in Italy’s Piedmont region. The estate traces its lineage to the early 19th-century marriage of a French aristocrat, Giulia Vittorina Colbert, to an Italian aristocrat, the Marquis Carlo Tancredi di Barolo. By the mid-19th century the estate’s Barolos were highly sought after. Today the 250-acre estate is owned by the family of Ernesto Abbona. The winery produces Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and other varietals. Gambero Rosso, Italy’s leading wine journal, calls the wines of Marchesi di Barolo “a lodestar in the vast constellation of Langhe wines.” Gambero Rosso has awarded the producer several 3 Bicchieri awards – the highest possible rating - for its Barolos.
