PIEMONTE. MARCHESI DI BAROLO. Part 1. Research.

Well, after a sufficiently long period of time (which included ProdExpo, 2010 webinar on Bordeaux travel) continue to tell of journey the towns and villages vineyards of Piedmont.

with a colleague, "a glass" Andrei Ushakov in the basement of Marchesi di Barolo

Now we will go about this landmark and a top producer of Barolo, as Marchesi di Barolo ( Marchesi di Barolo ).

Firstly, it one of the oldest family possessions in Italy, which I do know. It was founded back in 1340 year Pietro Faletti ( Pietro Fallett i), which is also called Pietrino !!!

Nevertheless, the true glory of his wine from the "Marquis" acquired under the leadership of the last of the descendants Petrino - Carlo Tancredi ( Carlo Tancredi ). There is also a great role played by his wife, Parisian Julia Colbert Vittorini di Molevrie ( Giulia Vittorina Colbert di Maulevrier ). For its time This couple was a "beacon in the darkness." Carlo Tancredi (who also was elected mayor of Turin) is the author of many scientific papers aimed to improve the appearance of the capital of Piedmont (equipping schools, parks, fountains, lighting, etc.), and his wife organized the School for Female Workers and blagotvortelny Fund Opera Pia Barolo , existing in our day (an indication of the fund is in each bottle of Barolo from the "Marquis"). It is not strange that in Turin the couple lived in residence, whose name was ... Castle Barolo ( Palazzo Barolo )!

Read very interesting and informative story about this farm (and see the quality Photos, unlike my shot at the bar of soap) can have ainur site " Italy in Russian " here here (the author also visited This winery and shares with us his impressions).

, however, thoroughly studied, some sources (particularly the wonderful book " T he Jewel of the Langa ", written by Maurizio Rosso ) would like to ability to make some amendments .
author of the publication writes that " She (ie, the Marquis de Molevrie) , along with her husband ... "Invented" or rather "discovered" Barolo ". It's not quite true, except for family Faletti, a significant contribution to the "birth" of Barolo (as in we know it) have made two key figures - Count Cavour, named Camillo Bens ( Camillo Benso ) from Castle Grinzane , and King Carlo Alberto ( Carlo Alberto ), whose residence was Chateau Verdun . About each of these characters can talk a lot and tasteful (and they are worth it!). I, however briefly, Go this later ... In the meantime, back to our "Marquis".

Next on the same link read " Marques invited winemakers from France (yes, all French), which could see the potential Nebiolo and land Barolo ".
Again, a small remark. It certainly is a legendary oenology, whose name was Louis Beat ( Louis Oudart ) and that really made kollosalny contribution to the qualitative improvement of the wines, which we know under the name Barolo (along with other "pioneer" Francesco Steel - Francesco Staglieno ). So, Louis Strike ALREADY worked as a winemaker at the court of Count Cavour, and the Marchioness Giulia only asked for a graph to his famed winemaker has helped improve the quality of wines "Marquises". And although (as is seen from the surname) blow was by birth a Frenchman , as stated in Maurizio Rosso before coming to Piedmont, he lived ... in Genoa ( " wine dealer who lived in Genoa " ) ! That's all tangled in the world of Barolo!

As changes , which first introduced steel, and then strike, then they really were revolutionary. Wine now roam in closed drums different volume, began to use sulfur dioxide as a preservative, and at improving themselves barrels (previously used more often "flattened" oval barrels Carr (more convenient for transportation, but not for the exposure). Beat , by the way (that's where he showed the Frenchman) withstood their wines longer than usual (up to 4 years), so his wines have been more tannins, more dry and resembled the wines from Bordeaux.

earlier (and later in other wine-making), these wines could not only be sweet (!!!), but even ... sparkling !!!
This, in particular, wrote in his diary, future U.S. president Thomas Jefferson (known connoisseur and passionate lover of wine Champagne and Burgundy Montrachet and Chambertin ), who as passing on the road to Nice, described "red wine from Nebbiolo" , GIVEN to him in a hotel " Angleterr " in Turin as " same" amabile "(it. sweet) as a gentle Madera, such as dry mouth as Bordeaux and the same live as champagne ".

After Faletti family and to this day the company run by representatives of the family Abbona ( Abbona ), which 7 OCTOBER 2010 us and took in my household (though not right away:) But then ...

With Anna and Ernesto Abbona. In glasses, by the way, Barolo Riserva 1990!

The visit of the cellars Homes like us out there taking Anna and Ernesto, a wine tasting Marchesi di Barolo, and a walk through the Barolo - in future editions ...

PRODEXPO -2011. What We Liked ...

So tomorrow is the last day PRODEXPO - 2011 and it is time to sum up preliminary results of this exhibition (write, and my head is buzzing with French, Italian and English phrases :)

First , as usual, working in this field since 2005, meets here many friends and former colleagues , because alcohol peace rather cramped. What is striking, on the one hand, that more or less large and stable company remained in place (and almost the same places as before, I mean Pavilion № 2, where, and are based core "Vinniki"), on the other hand, there was a sufficient number of previously unknown company (either before they took participate in Prodexpo).

Second , this exhibition (and especially today) was saturated to explore the key figures in the alcoholic world. So, today met with such wonderful people as LUCA MARONI (which hopefully do not need to be), as well as RICHARD PATERSON (blend-master distillery Whyte & Mackey , he is also the "father" of whiskey as DALMORE and JURA ). What kinds of people! If Luca Maroni - quiet and dignified man (Although sometimes the Italian temperament were showing all the same), Richard - a real fountain of energy (I just got back from the Central House of Writers, where he spent his last master class, and honestly thought that, without bloodshed, it will not be - "if I see that someone of you to add ice to the Dalmore 18 years old, I'll kill him!").

With Luca Maroni

Richard Paterson lights

addition (about the products his company did not write), as always pleased Austrians (Pavilion 2, Hall 1), where at one stand can be tasted about 30 samples !!! (From light white wines from Riesling and Grüner Veltliner to the powerful and sweet rare eiswein and TBA ). I have such a committed (not in one day, of course, you ought to still work at the booth) in 2010. I hope all the same build and lay out a note for both years .

also poradovaali and some English wines (eg producer Bodegas SOLAR DE URDEZO izregiona Karina). Very fresh Chardonnay (the one without soaking in a vat), good red from Garnacha and a French Syrah-Merlot-Cabernet.

I liked the French wines from Burgundy - although I am not the most ardent fan of chardonnay cask. But here, of course, high class! (Known pr-l CHATEAU DE MEURSAULT from Patriarche ).

quite good French champagne from a small family homes under the brands GREMILLET and CO MPTESSE DE GENLIS .

Fancy impression on whiskey line COMPASS BOX viskimeykera by John Glaser , as well as drink SOTOL from Mexico (an analogue of tequila, but produced from the so-called wild agave) from the "vodka" in essence the company Marusya Beverages Rouse (known vodka "Mammoth").

of the most interesting wines and spirits shall write more LATER ...
