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
Ruby-red with garnet highlight. Its delicate but intense nose is wide, with clear-cut overtones of withered roses, violets, tobacco, underbrush, spices, and a slight touch of vanilla. Dense, closely-woven tannins show on the palate, which starts out smooth, almost velvety, and then bursts with fruit, nicely balanced by a sharp freshness. Long aftertaste packed with flavour.
Food Pairing
Ideal with rich red meats and grilled fillet steak in particular; any beef or veal dish with wild mushrooms as well as truffle dishes such as “fonduta” and “tajarin”.
