This family winery is set in a beautiful location. Silvia gave us such a warm and friendly welcome. We tried 4 of their red wines and the pours were very generous. Silvia also provided cheese, salami, bread sticks and an assortment of cookies that went perfectly with the Barolo! The Barolo was our favorite and they have older vintages available for purchase so you can enjoy them now! We also got a beautiful wooden case to add to our collection! Silvia makes hazelnut meringue style cookies that were really delicious and they’re available for purchase as well as her homemade jam. We met Francesco as he was passing through the room and he stopped to welcome us and shake our hand. A wonderful winery and really great staff!

In juli 2020 we visited the winery of Marchesi di Barolo. The winery is very nice located and decorated. We had a guided tour during which we learned about the history and the way the wines are stored. It was very facinating to see the big wine barrels in which the wines are stored untill they are ready to be bottled. The tour ended in the shop where all their wines can be bought. Unfortunately the wine tasting was limited due to COVID-19. We bought some wines which tasted fantastic. In short it was a very interesting visit which we can recommend to everyone visiting the Barolo area.

Italy’s most innovative wine museum, as well as one of the world’s most important, opened its gates to the public in September 2010. It is set in the heart of a territory that is famous for its wines, and in the halls and rooms of a castle with a thousand-year history. Created from the imagination of François Confino, a designer of displays and installations in worldwide museums, the Barolo Wine Museum is an interactive voyage through culture and wine traditions. It plays on the millennia old beverage as a cultural product that is able to trace the evolution of entire civilizations, influence great artistic expression, and shape territories and their people. It is wine’s close ties to humanity and how it is interwoven with our history and traditions across countless civilizations that the WiMu wishes to express. As Confino clearly stated: «I have visited several museums dedicated to wine in the world. But none of them told of wine’s extraordinary cultural dimensions. It was fundamen

CAstello Falletti stands at the place of fortifications going back to at least the 10th century. In fact, parts of the original foundation can still be discerned in the great tower, which is visible for many miles around town. Most of the current structure, however, is the result of multiple additions and restorations, thanks to the efforts and vision of members of the Falletti family that acquired the castle in the 13th century. Medieval wars resulted in major damage to the castle, but each time, it was restored and improved. Today, it stands in great condition, one of the best preserved castled in the Langhe region. The Falletti family left the property in the early 19th century, to move to Turin, and upon the death of the last member of the family, the castle became the seat of the Opera Pia Barolo, a not-for-profit organization charged with administering the Falletti properties. In the late 1870s a college (Barolo COllege) was establishe on the site and continued its activities until 1958. Eventually Barolo township took over the ownership and management of the property and in 2010 the WiMu, one of the best wine museums of the country, was established. This is a multimedia program that occupies five floors of the castle and is well worth a visit.
