{"product_id":"barolo-marchesi-di-barolo-1959","title":"Barolo Marchesi di Barolo 1958","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1958 Barolo from Marchesi di Barolo represents the historical cradle of the modern Barolo style. Located in the town of Barolo, the estate is intrinsically linked to the Falletti family, who shaped the wine in the early 1800s. Marquise Giulia Falletti Colbert and her husband Carlo Tancredi Falletti transformed the local Nebbiolo grape from a sweet wine into a dry red wine. The appellation itself bears the name of these former owners. Following the end of the Falletti dynasty in 1864, the estates were transferred to the Opera Pia Barolo charity, a heritage noted on the bottle's label as \"Già Opera Pia Barolo\". In 1929, the Abbona family acquired the cellar, and today it is managed by the fifth and sixth generations: Ernesto, Anna, and Valentina Abbona.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe estate oversees 110 hectares, with 45 hectares of their own vineyards, encompassing prestigious parcels such as 4.5 hectares in Cannubi, 6.5 hectares in Sarmassa, and Coste di Rose. Maintaining a direct link to its origins, the cellar still uses five of Marchesa Giulia's original 19th-century oak barrels. The bottle features the embossed seal of Marchesi di Barolo and the coat of arms motto \"Ex Vite Vita\". It also displays historical accolades, including a Grand Prix and medals from Vienna in 1878, Turin in 1884, and Cuneo in 1914. This specific vintage was bottled by Vini Classici del Piemonte.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is produced in the Barolo area, situated in the Langhe hills southwest of Alba within the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. Piedmont, which translates to \"at the foot of the mountain,\" is bordered by the Alps and is celebrated for its focus on terroir. The dramatic, steep hills of the Langhe are frequently covered in thick autumn morning fog, protecting the grapes and providing a long, perfect ripening period. The 1958 vintage from this terroir is described as elegant and complex, earning a score of 92 points. The wine is crafted entirely from Nebbiolo, a premier Italian grape recognized for yielding elegant wines with great structure, and it remains the defining varietal of the Barolo appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marchesi di Barolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57417127919942,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1347_b099aac9-721b-45c1-b945-a83cc04fe72b.jpg?v=1789996626","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/barolo-marchesi-di-barolo-1959","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
