{"product_id":"freisa-del-piemonte-cantine-dei-marchesi-di-barolo-1976","title":"Piedmont Marchesi di Barolo 1976","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 1976 red wine is produced by Cantine dei Marchesi di Barolo, an estate widely regarded as the historical cradle of modern Barolo. The origins of the house are deeply tied to the Falletti family. In the early nineteenth century, Marquise Giulia Falletti Colbert and her husband Carlo Tancredi Falletti transformed local winemaking by shifting from sweet to dry styles, effectively creating the appellation as it is known today. Following the end of the Falletti dynasty in 1864, the estate passed to a charitable foundation before the Abbona family purchased the cellars in 1929. Today, the fifth and sixth generations of the Abbona family manage the estate, which encompasses 110 hectares, including prestigious parcels such as Cannubi, Sarmassa, and Coste di Rose. Remarkably, five of Marquise Giulia's original nineteenth-century oak barrels remain in use in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from Piemonte in northwestern Italy, a region whose name translates to \"at the foot of the mountains.\" Bordered by the Alps and the Apennines, Piemonte is characterized by a continental climate with cold winters, warm summers, and significant temperature variations between day and night. The hilly landscapes, particularly in the Langhe subregion, are often enveloped in thick autumn fog, which protects the vines and influences the ripening process. The soils here are a diverse mix of calcareous marl, sandstone, clay, and sand. Piemonte is globally recognized for its terroir-driven approach and is home to numerous passionate, family-run estates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis specific release is crafted from Freisa, a traditional Piedmontese grape variety that is closely related to Nebbiolo. Freisa is typically cultivated within Piemonte, particularly around the areas of Asti and Chieri. Bottled in the traditional Albeisa glass bottle, this 1976 vintage is classified as a Vino da Tavola. The wine has an alcohol content of 11.7 percent and represents a classic expression of the region's historical winemaking practices from an estate with roots dating back to 1861.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marchesi di Barolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57113101861190,"sku":null,"price":130.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-673_d13286ea-504f-49fe-aec6-59a72a7c93f4.jpg?v=1786532820","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/piedmont-marchesi-di-barolo-1976","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
