{"product_id":"barolo-marchesi-di-barolo-2002","title":"Barolo Marchesi di Barolo 2002","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarchesi di Barolo is widely recognized as the historical cradle of modern Barolo. The estate is deeply connected to the Falletti family, who in the early nineteenth century created the style of wine known today as Barolo. Marquise Giulia Falletti Colbert, originally French and also known as Juliette Colbert, along with her husband Carlo Tancredi Falletti, transformed the local Nebbiolo grape from a sweet wine into a dry red wine. The appellation itself and its defining style bear the name of the estate's former owners. After the Falletti dynasty ended without heirs in 1864, the properties were transferred to the charity foundation Opera Pia Barolo, a legacy still acknowledged on the bottle's neck label. In 1929, the Abbona family purchased the historic cellars, and the estate is now run by the fifth and sixth generations, Ernesto, Anna, and Valentina Abbona.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe estate manages 110 hectares of land, of which 45 hectares are privately owned. Their portfolio includes some of the most prestigious parcels in the area, such as 4.5 hectares in Cannubi, 6.5 hectares in Sarmassa, and the Coste di Rose vineyard. A remarkable historical detail is that five of Marchesa Giulia's original oak barrels from the nineteenth century remain in active use in the cellar, serving as a living link between the birth of Barolo and its modern production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 2002 vintage comes from Piedmont, a region in northwestern Italy whose name literally translates to \"at the foot of the mountain.\" Surrounded by the Alps, Piedmont is celebrated for its small, passionate, family-driven wineries and a profound focus on terroir. The landscape is defined by dramatic, steep hills, particularly in the Langhe subregion, where autumn morning fog often blankets the vineyards, protecting the grapes and ensuring a long, perfect ripening period. Within this prestigious region lies the Barolo area, situated southwest of Alba. Barolo is internationally renowned for producing some of Italy's greatest classic red wines, though the 2002 vintage in this area is recorded as an uneven vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is crafted entirely from Nebbiolo, Italy's premier grape variety, which is deeply tied to the Barolo area and known for producing elegant wines with significant structure. As a testament to its origin and strict quality standards, the wine holds the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) classification. It is bottled at 13.5% alcohol by volume in a standard 750ml format.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marchesi di Barolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57416763081030,"sku":null,"price":2850.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1320_d7316580-92cb-4b29-9df7-a4cd178e813f.jpg?v=1789993801","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.se\/en\/products\/barolo-marchesi-di-barolo-2002","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
