{"product_id":"nebbiolo-dalba-marchesi-di-barolo-1968","title":"Nebbiolo d'Alba Marchesi di Barolo 1966","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1966 Nebbiolo d'Alba from Antichi Poderi dei Marchesi di Barolo originates from the Piedmont region in northwestern Italy. Literally translating to \"at the foot of the mountain,\" Piedmont is surrounded by the Alps and is globally recognized for its profound focus on terroir. The landscape is defined by dramatic, steep hills, particularly in the Langhe subregion, where thick autumn morning fog protects the vineyards and ensures a long, steady ripening period for the grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red wine is crafted entirely from Nebbiolo, an esteemed Italian grape variety known for yielding elegant wines with significant structure. The Nebbiolo d'Alba appellation specifically covers the hills surrounding the town of Alba, located just outside the boundaries of the Barolo and Barbaresco zones. The terroir in this area features a diverse soil composition, ranging from chalky marl to more sandy sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarchesi di Barolo represents the historical cradle of modern Barolo. The estate's origins are tied to the Falletti family, specifically Marquise Giulia Falletti Colbert and her husband Carlo Tancredi Falletti, who in the early 1800s transformed Nebbiolo from a sweet wine into a dry red wine. When the Falletti dynasty ended without heirs in 1864, the properties were entrusted to the charity foundation Opera Pia Barolo. This historical transition is commemorated on the bottle's label with the inscription \"Già Opera Pia Barolo.\" The Abbona family acquired the cellars in 1929 and continues to run the estate today through its fifth and sixth generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe producer manages 110 hectares of vineyards, which include prestigious parcels such as Cannubi, Sarmassa, and Coste di Rose. Maintaining a direct link to its 19th-century origins, the cellar still utilizes five of Marquise Giulia's original oak barrels. This 1966 release, bottled in a 36-centiliter format at 12 percent alcohol, bears the estate's motto \"Ex Vite Vita.\" The label also highlights the winery's historical recognition, displaying a Gran Prix alongside medals from exhibitions in Vienna in 1878, Torino in 1884, Brussels in 1910, and Cuneo in 1914.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marchesi di Barolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57416297611590,"sku":null,"price":1450.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1295_9066ba42-03c7-4e09-990c-984e52912aa3.jpg?v=1789985580","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.se\/en\/products\/nebbiolo-dalba-marchesi-di-barolo-1968","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
