Elegant Barbera d’Alba with juicy red fruit, bright acidity and gentle oak depth

A classic Barbera d’Alba from Fontanafredda, bringing together the grape’s naturally bright acidity with ripe red fruit, supple texture and a touch of tannin. Fruit from several renowned Langhe communes is fermented in stainless steel before spending a year in large oak barrels, adding depth without overwhelming Barbera’s freshness. Versatile, generous and made for the table.

Tasting Notes: Appealing red fruit with Barbera’s trademark bright acidity, balanced by softness, gentle tannin and subtle oak depth.

Food Pairing: A versatile match for risotto, hearty soups, charcuterie, tomato-based pasta, roast meats and medium-mature cheeses.

ABV: 14%

Grape Blend: Barbera 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.
