Juliette Colbert—Historical Barolo Influencer and Philanthropist

Born in the era of the French Revolution, her family lived in exile in Germany and the Netherlands until Napoleon granted most of the aristocrats amnesty. Looking to unite ties between Piemonte and France, Giulia Colbert married a fellow courtier and soon-to-be Count of the Empire, Carlo Tancredi Falletti, who had strong ties to the Barolo area. She became known as the Marchesa of Barolo.
