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 purple highlights. The nose is packed with black fruit, especially blackberries and plums, and light spicy overtones hinting at black pepper and cinnamon. Sweet, soft tannins come together in a closely-woven texture that merges with the fruit, while a crisp freshness provides a long, tasty finish.
Food Pairing
Fontanafredda Barbera is a perfect match for starters, cured meats and fresh and medium mature cheeses.
