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 an attractive ruby-red with garnet hues which turns orange with the passing of time. The bouquet is clean, full, complex and intense, with the wine's typical suggestions of withered flowers, dry leaves and underbrush.
Food Pairing
Ideal with rich red meats; feathered game such as partridge, pheasant, wild duck and pigeon and other slightly gamey birds such as Guinea fowl and quail; hearty braised beef in Barolo; medium –ripe cheeses. It is also perfect after dinner, as a “meditation” wine.
