{"product_id":"barolo-cantine-dei-marchesi-di-barolo-1977","title":"Barolo Marchesi di Barolo 1977 3 L double Magnum","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a 1977 Barolo from Cantine dei Marchesi di Barolo, presented in a large 3-liter format with an alcohol content of 13%. The 1977 vintage in this area was characterized as a difficult and wet year. The wine originates from Piedmont in northwestern Italy, a region whose name literally translates to \"at the foot of the mountain.\" Surrounded by the Alps, Piedmont is globally recognized as one of the most prestigious wine regions, characterized by dramatic, steep hills, particularly in the Langhe subregion. These hills are often enveloped in thick autumn morning fog, which protects the grapes and ensures a long, perfect ripening period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocated southwest of Alba, the Barolo appellation is one of Piedmont's most esteemed wine areas and is celebrated for producing some of Italy's great classic red wines. The area is inextricably linked to Nebbiolo, an Italian top grape known for yielding elegant wines with great structure. Nebbiolo is the sole grape used in this Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) wine, which also carries the V.Q.P.R.D. quality designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarchesi di Barolo is widely considered the historical cradle of modern Barolo. The estate's origins are tied to the Falletti family, who in the early 19th century created the wine style known today as Barolo. Marquise Giulia Falletti Colbert and her husband Carlo Tancredi Falletti were instrumental in transforming Nebbiolo from a sweet wine into a dry red wine, and the appellation itself is named after these former owners. After the Falletti dynasty ended without heirs in 1864, the estates passed to a charity before the Abbona family purchased the historic cellar in 1929. Today, the winery is run by the fifth and sixth generations of the Abbona family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe estate, officially established in 1861, manages 110 hectares of land, including 45 hectares of their own vineyards. Their portfolio features some of the most prestigious parcels in the area, such as 4.5 hectares in Cannubi, 6.5 hectares in Sarmassa, and Coste di Rose. The wine was vinified and bottled at the source by the estate. In a rare historical detail, five of Marchesa Giulia's original oak barrels from the 19th century remain in use in the cellar today, serving as a living link between the birth of Barolo and its modern form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marchesi di Barolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56988596732230,"sku":null,"price":630.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-394_227dd5d6-4b36-4ba6-b1be-03715c41145c.jpg?v=1784632775","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.eu\/products\/barolo-cantine-dei-marchesi-di-barolo-1977","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
