Marchesi di Barolo

Five oak casks that belonged to the Marchesa Giulia Falletti Colbert, the woman credited with inventing Barolo as a style, still sit in the cellars here and are still aging wine. A heritage estate tour in the heart of Barolo town, this is the kind of place where the history actually pours into your glass. Named a Discovery by The World's 50 Best Vineyards, which puts it in decent company for a region that hardly needs the help.
