Marchesi di Barolo

The history of Marchesi di Barolo began in 1807 with the love story between the Marquis of Barolo, Carlo Tancredi Falletti and a French noblewoman, Juliette Colbert di Maulévrier. After the death of Marquise Giulia Colbert in 1864, the line of the Falletti family came to an end, with the legacy living on through their charitable foundation: Opera Pia Barolo. In 1895, Pietro Abbona began working in the family’s wine cellars in Barolo. Thanks to his strong dedication to the work, in 1929 he bought the Agency of Holdings of Opera Pia Barolo. At present, Marchesi di Barolo remains a family business: Anna and Ernesto Abbona, already the 5th generation, are personally committed to the winery’s business activities along with their children Valentina e Davide.
