Fontanafredda
Since 1878 Fontanafredda Estate & Winery located in the heart of Piedmont's Langhe region has been a benchmark for Barolo and Barbera wines that deftly balance deep aromas and concentration of fruit with elegance. Among the prized vineyard sites belonging to Fontanafredda are those in the commune of Serralunga d'Alba a source of some of today's most distinctive and intriguing Barolo wines.
Description
The colour is ruby-red with garnet highlights; on the nose ripe plums, bilberries and violets merge harmoniously with hints of liquorice, cinnamon and tobacco. Well-structured tannins and intense fruit fill the mouth with a closely-packed, full flavour.
Food Pairing
Barbaresco Coste Rubin is well suited to any red meat; risotto with porcini; “carne cruda” - raw beef or veal prepared the Piedmontese way - or steak tartare; delicately flavoured offal such as calves liver, kidneys and sweetbreads; medium-ripe cheeses.
