Advice to enjoy this wine at its best.

Let’s talk about Barbera d'Alba DOC - Ruvei - Marchesi di Barolo

More questions

The Barbera d'Alba DOC "Ruvei" from Marchesi di Barolo is a red wine that highlights the freshness and drinkability typical of Barbera. On the nose there are red fruit aromas and light spicy hints, with a straightforward, immediate aromatic profile. On the palate it shows lively acidity, soft tannins and a balanced structure that supports the fruit flavors without weighing them down. Overall it is pleasant and approachable, suitable as an everyday red with character but without extremes.

It pairs easily with dishes from Piedmontese and Italian tradition: tomato-based pasta, baked pasta dishes, white meats and cured meats. It is also suitable with semi-mature cheeses and rustic pizzas. Serve at around 16–18 °C to accentuate freshness and vivacity; if stored in a cellar, drink within a few years to best enjoy its immediate fruity expression. Ruvei is a versatile choice for informal dinners and shared moments.

Historic winery in Barolo (Langhe, Piedmont) with 19th‑century cellars, producing Barolo single‑vineyard crus including Cannubi. ([marchesibarolo.com](https://marchesibarolo.com/en/history))
The story
The historic cellars date to the era of Marchesa Giulia di Barolo; modern Barolo production was shaped in the first half of the 19th century. In 1929 Pietro Abbona took over the cellars and the estate received international awards during the 20th century. Since 1973, at Gino Veronelli's invitation, historic Barolo crus such as Cannubi have been vinified separately. ([marchesibarolo.com](https://marchesibarolo.com/en/history))
Production philosophy
Focus on terroir and respect for historic crus: hand harvest with grape selection in the vineyard; selective destemming and targeted maceration (15–18 days); fermentation at controlled temperatures (about 24–26 °C). Aging includes a period in vitrified concrete tanks and roughly two years in wood (first year in French barriques with a balanced percentage of new wood, second year in large Slavonian oak barrels), followed by bottle rest. (description pertains to the Barolo Cannubi). ([marchesibarolo.com](https://marchesibarolo.com/pdf/en/cannubi.pdf?utm_source=openai))
Terroir and vineyards
Cannubi is the long, gradually rising hill at the center of the Barolo appellation; soils from the Serravallian and Tortonian periods (Sant'Agata fossil marls: clays, fine sands and calcareous components) give structure, finesse and longevity. The Langhe area is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site (2014). ([marchesibarolo.com](https://marchesibarolo.com/pdf/en/cannubi.pdf?utm_source=openai))
