Tasting note
Fragrant Barolo, perfumed with violets, raspberries and redcurrants, with more juicy red fruit on the palate.
Viticulture
Fontanafredda is a cru that extends entirely within the Fontanafredda estate. This plot of land constitutes a border between soils of Helvetian and Tortonian origin. The result is a soil with transitional characteristics, with clayey marls and layers of clayey sand.
Vinification
The vinification process occurs in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures. At the end of the fermentation,the new wine stays in contact with the grape skins for about one month.The entire ageing process occurs in medium and large oak casks for two years, followed by twelve months in bottles.
Food Match
Juicy and spicy and asking to be paired with robust flavours. Think Truffles with risotto or strong, hard cheese.
