Description

This is part of our COMING SOON Collection.

Rich, velvety Barolo with rosehip, autumnal spice and beautifully structured Nebbiolo

A classic Barolo from one of Piemonte’s historic estates, made entirely from Nebbiolo grown across eight villages south of Alba, including fruit from the celebrated Bussia cru. After fermentation and extended skin contact, the wine matures for 30 months in large Slavonian oak before further bottle ageing. Rich and full-bodied yet beautifully balanced, it combines Barolo’s unmistakable structure with layers of fruit, floral and autumnal complexity.

Tasting Notes: Rich and velvety with frosted rosehip, autumnal woodland notes, roasted chestnut and a hint of beeswax. Full-bodied with suave tannins and a long fruit-led finish.

Food Pairing: Made for rich red meats, slow-cooked dishes and medium to mature cheeses. Also a fine wine to enjoy after dinner. One for our Ragu collection

ABV: 14%

Grape Blend: Nebbiolo 100%

Region: Piemonte

Founded in 1858 at Serralunga d’Alba, Fontanafredda is one of Piemonte’s historic estates. Once part of the royal lands of Italy’s first king, the estate is now known for classic regional wines and a strong focus on sustainable viticulture.

Piemonte

Piemonte (or Piedmont) is the second largest region of Italy, found in the north west of the country. Its largest city and the original capital of Italy is Turin, the bustling business and culture hub of northern Italy. Turin is filled with a mixture of 16th and 18th century renaissance, baroque and neo classical architecture. More up-to-date, it is also home to Juventus FC, one of Italy’s best football teams.

Moving away from the cities, Piedmont is known for its connection to the Alps. Almost half of the region is covered by mountains, making it one of Italy’s top skiing destinations. The geography of the region generates great agricultural farm land and it is best known for its grapes and wine production. Barolo and Barbaresco red wines are made from the Nebbiolo grape, and the sparkling Asti Spumante comes from the Moscato grape.

Besides wine, the region also produces a vast amount of Italian risotto rice. Arborio, Carnaroli and 11 other varieties of rice are grown in paddy fields, irrigated by river water.
