Winemaker’s note :

“Of the personages connected with the name Barolo, some may be considered of historic importance, real and true pioneers (of these) people first place goes to Pietro Abbona, ( the one who acquire the cellars of the Marchesi di Barolo estate, along with the vineyards and the LaVolta Castle) undisputed patriarch of Barolo...who, as an un questionable stand-bearer, made the wine of his region known throughout the world. It was from his winery that Barolo made its first historic steps. His large wood casks were in fact part of the legacy of the Marquise Falletti. (the family who has created the today style Barolo) Commendatore Abbona in here dieted along standing tradition, a love of the vineyards, the wineries and wine it self, and he brought his label displaying the castles of Barolo and Serralunga to the furthest tables By “Barolo As I Know It” , Massimo Martinelli.
