Marchesi di Barolo - Sede legale, magazzini e spedizioni, Barolo

Inspired... We did the cellar tour (in English), followed by wine tasting of some of the estate's fine wines. I didn't realise that the entire region was transformed and put on the map of wine regions because of a visionary woman.

We had a great lunch experience, paired with wines. The tour was impressive, including the view of the private collection. The tasting is however, pretty expensive at 6 Euros per glass, regardless of whether you buy a bottle. Other barolo wineries are often free, given that you buy one or two bottles of course.

Marchesi di Barolo historical cellars are located in the town of Barolo, in the building overlooking the Castle of the Marquis Falletti. The story of a wine cellar where, in the heart of the Langhe area and protected by gentle hills, a wine was born. This wine, as the French tradition suggests, was called Barolo like the town where it was produced for the first time. No one at that time could imagine that it was destined one day to be king: the King of Wines, the Wine of the Kings.

Good wine, but save your 18€ tasting fee and try the smaller wineries who provide excellent wine tasting for free. For example, we had a very warm and hospitable reception at Bera Azienda Agricola, Via Castellero Cascina Palazzo, 12, 12050 Neviglie CN, Italy

Great tour of the historical cellars and tastings of their excellent wines. Call in advance to book!
