{"product_id":"barolo-cantine-dei-marchesi-di-barolo-1983","title":"Barolo Marchesi di Barolo 1983","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a 1983 Barolo DOCG from the historic producer Cantine dei Marchesi di Barolo. Known as the cradle of modern Barolo, the estate is deeply intertwined with the origins of the appellation itself. In the early 1800s, the Falletti family—specifically Marquise Giulia Falletti Colbert and her husband Carlo Tancredi Falletti—transformed the local Nebbiolo grape from a sweet wine into a dry wine, establishing the style that defines Barolo today. The 1983 vintage in this area received a score of 85 points; it is characterized as an uneven year overall, but one that yielded good results from top producers like this historic estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from the Barolo area within the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. Piedmont, which translates to \"at the foot of the mountain,\" is bordered by the Alps and is renowned for its dramatic, steep hills, particularly in the Langhe subregion located southwest of Alba. The vineyards here are often enveloped in thick autumn morning fog, which protects the grapes and ensures a long, perfect ripening period. This terroir-focused region is celebrated for its small, passionate wineries and its deep connection to local gastronomy, including the famous white truffles of Alba. Often referred to as \"the king of wines, the wine of kings\"—a historic phrase proudly associated with the appellation—Barolo is exclusively crafted from the Nebbiolo grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNebbiolo is a premier Italian grape variety known for producing elegant wines with significant structural depth. It is the defining grape of the Piedmont region, most notably cultivated in the prestigious Barolo and Barbaresco areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing the end of the Falletti dynasty in 1864, the Marchesi di Barolo estate was transferred to a local charity before the Abbona family purchased the historic cellars in 1929. Today, the winery is managed by the fifth and sixth generations of the family: Ernesto, Anna, and Valentina Abbona. The estate manages 110 hectares of vineyards, 45 of which are entirely owned, including prestigious parcels such as 4.5 hectares in Cannubi, 6.5 hectares in Sarmassa, and Coste di Rose. A remarkable historical detail of the cellar is the continued use of five original oak barrels from the 1800s, commissioned by Marchesa Giulia, serving as a direct, living link to the birth of the Barolo appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marchesi di Barolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57416676540742,"sku":null,"price":1600.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1316_58b972f7-9165-4735-ae27-57b72136cbfa.jpg?v=1789993330","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.dk\/en\/products\/barolo-cantine-dei-marchesi-di-barolo-1983","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
