About the Wine

Fontanafredda is more than a winery; it's a Langhe legend. Since 1858, they've been putting Piedmont's Barolo on the world map. Led by the visionary Oscar Farinetti, they've built a wine empire that truly reflects the heart and soul of the region.

Fontanafredda’s roots trace back to 1858, born from the legendary love story between King Vittorio Emanuele II and Rosa Vercellana. Today, this heritage is celebrated through their exceptional wines, crafted with an unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity.

Fontanafredda proudly cultivates 290 acres of organic vineyards, spanning the diverse terroirs of Serralunga d’Alba, Barolo, and beyond. This dedication to organic farming not only honors the land but also produces wines of unparalleled purity and expression.

Fontanafredda's wines are renowned worldwide, with accolades that highlight their exceptional quality. The Barolo La Rosa 2008 was named one of the 100 best wines in the world by Wine Spectator in 2013. Continuing this tradition of excellence, the first Barolo at M.G.A. Fontanafredda in 2017 also garnered significant acclaim, reaffirming their place at the pinnacle of winemaking. Fontanafredda was also honoured as the "European Cellar of the Year" by Wine Spectator. Their dedication to sustainability, quality, and community has established them as a beacon of excellence in the world of wine.

Their massive estate in Serralunga d'Alba is a wine lover's paradise. This is the biggest single vineyard estate in the whole Langhe! They grow their grapes across different towns, all with that perfect blend of sun and soil. And since 2018, they've been leading the pack as Piedmont's largest organic winery.

Aging: The wine ages in wood casks for at least four months and then in the bottle for at least one to two months

Tasting Notes

100% Nebbiolo. Complex nose with traces of withered flowers, such as roses and, above-all, geraniums. On the palate, warm, soft, and inviting, with velvety tannins, great balanced and a lingering finish. Ideal with flavorful pasta dishes, meats and medium-aged cheeses.

Critical Reviews

Bright red berries with notes of cumin, coriander and citrus. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins. Fresh and minerally at the end. Drink now. ~90 James Suckling
