Marchesi di Barolo Roero Arneis

The Marchesi di Barolo estate encompasses approximately 430 acres of vineyards in the Langhe, some of the finest in Piedmont, including the prestigious Cannubi cru. The cellars are in the village of Barolo, overlooking the Renaissance castle of the Marchesi Falletti di Barolo. In 1929, local winemaker Pietro Abbona purchased the cellars formerly owned by the Marchesi and eventually acquired all their vineyard holdings as well. Today, Marchesi di Barolo remains a family business. Since 2006, the estate has been under the direction of Pietro’s great-grandson and fifth-generation winemaker, Ernesto Abbona and his wife Anna, who have inherited a longstanding winemaking tradition and a love of the vineyards and its wines. The grapes come from vineyards located on the steep hills of the Roero. This area is characterized by soft and permeable soils. This provides an abundance of trace elements, guaranteeing an immediate expression of the bouquet. The color is pale straw yellow, sometimes with a pale hint of gold. The scent is fruity, with a clear hint of acacia flowers, rennet apple, peach and green hazelnut. The flavor is fresh, fragrant, delicately mineral.
