History in a glass. Today’s guest star of Identità di Vino is a prestigious winery from the Langhe, the Marchesi di Barolo.

Its wines originate where the most refined red wine of Italy finds its ideal environment. The winery “Antiche Cantine dei Marchesi di Barolo” is located in Barolo, in the palace overlooking the castle of the Falletti marquises. It was here that the story began. In 1807 Carlo Tancredi Falletti married the French noblewoman Juliette Colbert de Maulévrier. It was her who saw the great potential of the wine produced in the surrounding hills. When the dynasty ended in 1864 the winery was taken over by the Abbona family who continues a noble tradition passed down for five generations.
