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 a clear, ruby-red wine with violet highlights. Its vinous bouquet is fruity, very intense and rather attractive and persistent. Nicely dry, well-balanced and velvety, with clear flavours of black cherry and liquorice, subtle overtones of prune and black pepper and a pleasant, light aftertaste of almonds.
Food Pairing
Fontanafredda Dolcetto is a fine match for hot antipasti, pasta, vegetables and not overly-elaborate meat dishes.
